Dark Passion Play 

The Bible followers of the Nightwish cult follow. This doctrine lists ways in which followers of the God Tuomas Holopainen live their day to day lives. If the laws are not obeyed, followers find themselves banished to the Dreamer's Hideaway, for 1001 nights, where they are made a whore for the Sailor of the Cold World. Once the wolves have arrived after the 7 days, followers plant Amaranth flowers in the Meadows of Heaven. This ritual is dedicated to whoever brings the night on the Island of Eva.
The opening ritual of any gathering on the Island of Eva is opened with the ritual decapitation of the Poet. After, followers are required to spit on the poet's grave. This ritual is said to have given birth to the Dark Passion Play.

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.
