A 40 foot tall purple ape that was featured in several Hanna-Barbera Saturday morning cartoon shows in the mid-to-late 70s. Although physically imposing the character was a friendly, gentle giant who sometimes didn't know his own strength and would often finish sentences by saying his name "Grape Ape, Grape Ape".

Widely considered to be a mediocre at best character. Often used as a meme by Adam Carolla to explain how terrible TV in general was in his formative years.
"At least now kids have choices as to what to watch on TV. When I was growing up we had Grape Ape. It was just dumb."
"I tried watching Grape Ape on Boomerang (retro H-B cartoon network) but I had to turn it off after 5 minutes."

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.
