A fried potato pancake confection that appears to be a Jewish latka commonly eaten on Hanukkah, but is, in fact, not a latka. Latkas are only made of grated potatoes with eggs, a little milk, flour or matzo meal and baking powder, fried up in a pan using, typically, shmaltz or oil. Anything else is a notka. Examples of notkas include American hash-browns, Irish boxty, British tattie fish, Korean gamja-jeon, Polish placki, and Swedish rarakor.
The whole family was at my bubbe's house for Hanukkah and this shiksa my cousin is dating brought some soggy potatoes that looked like hash-browns. They were total notkas.

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.
