Irish Potato Famine 

A strong, alcoholic drink served primarily at Irish pubs and taverns. In a tall shot glass, a mixture of 2 parts Jameson whiskey is mixed with 1 part Chopin- a potato vodka. If served properly, it makes the bar patron vomit, grow week with hunger, and it will infect their daughter with cholera.
"Hey bartender, what are the drink specials?"

"Ní foclóir cuimsitheach acadúil atá ann ach a mhalairt Irish Potato Famine"

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.
