Nannerism 

Something said by a Nanna or Grandmother that is not entirely true. Not a lie, but an exaggeration or an embellishment of the truth.
Nanna passes by a famous hospital and tells the children "I was the head of child services there when I was 25." Or "I used to live at the Drake Hotel in Chicago." is it true? We don't know, but it appears to be a Nannerism

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.
