DOUPWART 

Acronym, standing for: Dull Overpaid Ugly People Who Actually Rate Themselves.

DOUPWARTs are typically 25-year-old investment bankers who hang around in clubs in financial capitals e.g. Pangaea in London and behave like they are God's Chosen People on account of having big flashy jobs. They seem to think that working 100 hours a week in return for £100k a year makes them special, when in fact they are just overpaid drones doing a job that the next crop of 25-year-olds will fill. They are typically the geeky kids at school who think that working for a big bank admits them to a trendy social elite, when in fact they are just a rare breed of sheep. The clubs love them because they fail to pull repeatedly, and keep opening their wallets in an attempt to overcome this.
Hey man, check out that guy over there trying to pull those ugly blondes. Looks like he could be a character in American Psycho.
Ha ha yeah man, dancing like a total DOUPWART. What a jerk.

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.
