Independent Woman 

A woman who pays her own bills, buys her own things, and doesn't feel she needs a man's approval. Meanwhile, she complains that she can't find a man because there aren't enough good men out there. She also has a 1,000 point criteria list for what she wants in a man and feels like she deserves this kind of man because she can financially support herself. All the while she forgets that she can't be independent and interdependent (in a relationship) at the same time. Instead of realizing that she would need to change her mindset to find a man who fits even a fraction of that 1,000 point criteria, she blames society, her race, statistics, and virtually anything but herself for her situation.

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.
