Gaslighting on Paper 

A form of manipulation, often carried out by people in positions of power—such as judges, lawyers, doctors, or police officers—where false, misleading, or completely fabricated written communication (such as reports, records, or legal documents) is used to distort facts, undermine a person's reality, or discredit them. This tactic can involve not only adding false information but also creating entirely false documents to cover up crimes. It is frequently used to manufacture false mental health narratives or discredit victims of non-consensual human experimentation. The purpose is to conceal the crimes of those in power, making false information appear as the "gospel truth"—essentially
Police Cover-Up Example
"Officer Gordon Dorham sent me a letter falsely claiming that I had filed an Internal Affairs complaint against one of their officers. However, I never filed such a complaint. The letter was part of a cover-up for Oakland Police Department Cannabis Unit Officer John Jacko Romero, who failed to shut down his cousin Jacko’s illegal cannabis operation. Instead of addressing the real issue, they engaged in gaslighting on paper, framing false mental health issues against me without ever mentioning the officer or his cousin's illegal cannabis operation."

Medical Gaslighting Example
"A doctor created a backdated medical note, falsely stating that I had paranoia in 2020, even though I never saw them that year. This completely fabricated document was an example of gaslighting on paper to discredit me and cover up the crimes committed against me."

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.
