Hoboisation

The social process whereby cities grow and societies become more urban. Therefore, the Hobo-density increases and one must carry extra change and a spare can of pepper spray.
"My dear Charles, I do believe that the Hobo-density of Sydney has increased to over nine score per city library."
"Yes, Perkins, what ever happened to that sanctity, that certain prot'eg'e vibe one gets from the warmth of the library air conditioners. Its not as if libraries are there for the common people. Bah! They're for intellectuals, like you and me!"
"Thats Hoboisation for you.."

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.
