Disgusting piece of Geneva trash. You can spot one of these by their beady little eyes and extremely gross, crooked animal teeth, hence the name "peskrat." If you rearrange a few letters and maybe take one away, it will tell you even more about this methamphetime-addicted waste of oxygen. Watch out, it may claim to have hair styling skills, but after one look at it's own stringy mess you will know the truth.
"Look mommy, I found an ugly little critter!!"

"No, honey! Put that down, it's a peskrat, you don't know where that's been!"

Peikaboo 

The Peikaboo is a small furry creature that's a cross between a husky, a goat and has large claws like a sloth.

A Peikaboo got a strong determination for simple tasks and objectives, but runs away and hides when things get too complicated. At which point, the Peikaboo will seek the help from other animals to overcome these obstacles.

The diet of a Peikaboo consists mainly of chips and diet coke, but have been seen eating potatoes. These creatures are mostly found in swampland areas, most commonly where Crayfish can be found. It is said, being near a Peikaboo brings bad luck, and unfortunate event will occur. This has yet to proven.

It's not recommended attacking a Peikaboo as they enjoy pain and hits with sticks – often bigger and heavier than themselves.

If you find yourself in fight with a Peikaboo, it's advised that you keep it at a distance with small fast shoves, whilst yelling "Magic", as the Peikaboo swings very slowly and dislikes magic. But be careful. If a Peikaboo is pushed into a corner, they will panic and attack very sporadic and aggressively.

Once captured, make sure to drive it far away from housing, as they are determent to win fights and will keep coming back.

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.
