Fame-sweeper 

A fame-sweeper is a special type of celebrity that is so effortlessly, extraordinarily famous, especially one that has sprung out from an unfathomably low point in life that it can cause speculation of how they even did it or what their “secret” is. These speculations of the said “fame-sweeper” can arise from the following, ranging from them having numerous connections or associations with other fame-sweepers and celebrities, living a dream lifestyle, owning many luxurious things, #1 hit after #1 hit…

The one thing about a fame-sweeper, however, is that you will never know their secret, unless you become one yourself.

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.
