Melaniacholy 

The emotional state of being in which a woman who agreed to a loveless sham of a marriage to a buffoonish real estate heir in exchange for untold wealth must now pretend to be some kind of goodwill ambassador, advocate for causes she knows little and cares even less about, face daily harsh media scrutiny and international humiliation due to her husband's infidelities, general misogyny and overall inability to truly understand anything, really.

Symptoms may include interrupting cabinet meetings to drunkenly ask the Secretary of Defense if the Pentagon has invented a time machine yet.

Black girl: Hey what's wrong? You seem down?

White man: I just watched a video of black man getting beaten to death by the cops. I feel sad, depressed, angry and I want to do something about it, but I don't know what to do.

White man: Dude! That's exactly how I feel. Thank you for explaining my feelings to me. I feel so much better now. I'm going to post a black square on Instagram! #BLACKLIVESMATTER

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.
