Dot-Taunting 

Origin - Social Media jargon in association to messenger apps, including but not limited to, Facebook.

1.) Verb - The conscious act of starting to type then stopping to induce a reaction (typically negative & emotional) from the receiving party;

2.) Verb - The intentional act of intentionally typing, deleting, and re-typing (usually nonsense) and lastly suddenly logging off without sending any message for the sheer satisfaction of knowing that the other person is an avid dot watcher resulting in an unfavorable emotional response in the receiving party, in which their own anxiety/panic level starts rising with each key stroke at the endless possibilities of the unknown;

3.) Verb - that moment when you suddenly realize that you are either being fucked around with by some maniacal bitch who knows that you obsessively dot watching, or that same person sending the message is so pissed off that you are scared to read the book that is being written.

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.
