Hunt and Peck 

A person (usually a child, but some adults without experience may be one), that is not used to the layout of a keyboard (ie. no abc, the qwerty setup), and instead finds the letter (generally slowly), and then "pecks it" (hence the name).

Lots of people are becoming hunt and peckers, some are Touch-Typers (know the layout of a keyboard, don't need to look, etc).
Bob: Yo, Jerry, why weren't you responding to me on chat last night?

Hunt and Peck 

Name of the innovative team that came up with the qwerty keyboard layout to slow down typists to prevent old mechanical typewriters from jamming.

Masters at inventing ways to slow people down, Hunt went on to inventing a catsup that pours more slowly and Peck went on to inventing a method of eating that made it take four times as long to eat your meal.

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.
