Jochamism 

A very laid-back teaching philosophy centered around understanding large concepts by the time a test appears. Often incorporating cartoons and powerpoints with strange pictures (see also: lolcats), this coffee-fueled teaching style usually varies from a standard classroom procedure.

Any Jochamist teacher will most likely emit odd noises, loud interjections, various poses, and offer blunt criticism to students.
"What is your new teacher like?"
"Oh, he's a total Jochamist. We walked into his room and immediately smelled coffee, and then we watched bugs bunny the rest of the period."

"My teacher must believe in Jochamism. We just saw a powerpoint on how to 'Not do so bad in class' and were told 'If being you doesn't work, be someone else.'"

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.
