A virtual e-faggot on World of Warcraft whose brain is almost as small as his penis. He likes to go around and acts like he's the best shit, yet he's actually extremely bad at the game and dodges wargames 24/7. He also acts this way because his father inserted too many bananas inside his rectum during his early childhood, and will continue to do so throughout his natural life. If you see him, don't even bother making fun of him. He'll just call you bad, ask for a wargame, and then if you agree, he comes up with an excuse to dodge. He's actually the most pathetic player on World of Warcraft, aside from the lumbering pile of obese garbage that is Cassie.

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.
