Musical Deja Vu 

When you have a strong feeling that you have heard a familiar song before and you associate it with a time or an emotion, but you aren't exactly sure when or where you have heard the song. This usually occurs most strongly at the beginning of the song, but can last the entire duration as well.

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.
