Foreign diplomacy conducted with the number one goal of raising one's profile at home.

Daniel Russel, former President Obama's senior Asia Director at the National Security Council, speaking of the upcoming summit with North Korea after NK's categorical refusal to abandon their nuclear program: "President Trump has forged a new category of international relations that I would call 'diplotainment' and the Singapore meeting is going to demonstrate diplotainment at its pinnacle."

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
