Freeomania 

The inability to control yourself when items are available free. E.g. stealing unnecessary sauce packets from a fish and chip shop, because you can and never really be sure when a free tartare packet will be handy, even though you will probably throw them out the next time you clean your car. Same goes with jam packets from breakfast buffets.

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.
