Snotty town in the north of Italy, in the region of Lombardy.

Famous for its beautiful architecture and buildings, Mantova is a sleepy (bordering on coma) town where people spend most of their leisure time "facendo le vasche", which is a term to describe 'walking up and down the smart streets pouting at each other's clothes and calculating each other's wealth'.

mannovation 

A simple, logical, and very practical solution to a problem thought up by a man; a man's innovation. A man uses something simple to accomplish a task or solve a problem. The mannovation takes place usually when a guy needs to do something, but does not want to put forth much effort to do so so he looks for something simple but efective.
EX #1: You want to spread butter on your toast, but all you have is a fork. A knife is a good walk away, and you're already comfortable. But you mannovate and flip the fork and use the handle as a spreading knife. Wipe handle with napkin (or shirt)if necessary. A mannovation just took place.

EX#2:A hot chick in your dorm makes a cake. The cake is done, and wants to share it. Problem is, no one has a knife on hand, so she tasks you with cutting the cake. Sure you could run to your room and get a knife, but thats all the way down the hall. Whip out your driver's license, and bam! Not quite a knife, but cakes cut easy so it gets the job done just fine. If bitching about the cleanliness of the card occurs, rub it on her shirt.

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.
