Pet a Freshman Day

Day that takes place on the first Friday of December that is dedicated to "making freshman feel more inferior than they already are" by petting them in a loving, non-harmful way. The best petting occurs with the little ones, getting a solid pet right on their heads. It is made even better by shouting "You're so adorable!" in a high falsetto during the pet.

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.
