jerk off gesture 

When someone mimes jerking off (male masturbation) in order to signify one of the following.

1. Boredom during a conversation.
2. Annoyance at what is being said by someone.
3. To symbolically show that what is going on is pointless, and/or masturbatory.

Often accompanied by rolling your eyes.

For Example:

1. Speaking on the phone with someone who doesn't know when to shut up, so you do the jerk off gesture.
2. Someone is saying something you think is stupid so you do the jerk off gesture to show what you think of them.
3. Someone is pontificating on a subject you find stupid or pointless, with a great air of pomposity and pretense, so you do the jerk off gesture to show what you think of how they are using their time.
Alternately you may also consider the topic important, but find the delivery of said speech to be extremely self indulgent. IE, someone more interested in propping them self up than dealing with the subject at hand.
"So I was listening to this professor talk about the battle of the bulge and I love war history, but the dude just kept on and on, like he wouldn't shut up. I was doing the jerk off gesture under the table half the lecture."

gang gestures

This is a type of sign language that gangs of juvenile delinquents use as a type of secret communication. Comes from all of those years of spearing things in the jungles and communicating with other spear hunters. (Wait, that requires intelligence). Anyway, it is impossible not to laugh at at, because it looks so hilarious.
"I just make up my own gang gestures when I see those crime-monkeys gesturing at me. They think I'm nuts that way."

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.
