Post-reality 

Post-reality is the normalization of the digital age we live in. It is the authentication of our social media lives overlapping what we view as normal. We are living in a time when it is common for everyone's public display of their lives to be romanticized-- Fiction is reality and reality is fiction. It’s up to you how to perceive it.
We are all living in post-reality.

Post-reality 

Post-reality is the normalization of the digital age we live in. It is the authentication of our social media lives overlapping what we view as normal. There's no reality without the digital world. We are living in a time when it is common for everyone's public display of their lives to be romanticized -- where fiction is reality and reality is fiction. It's up to you how you perceive it.

Post-reality society

A society in which reality has lost its authority as the common standard for determining what is true. Facts may still exist, but conformity with them is no longer considered necessary to justify a belief, argument, or claim.
“When evidence stopped settling arguments and people simply chose whichever version of events suited them, we knew we were living in a post-reality society.”

Post pandemic reality 

Hopefully in the post pandemic reality, people remember what they forgot during the pandemic, that they never needed normalcy or hope. The dysfunctional lives most of us led before somebody tried to pause them and make them normal will return, and because most people don't think the sky is going to fall because they see a condo building collapse on the news, they won't need a celebration of hope, or a daily dose of hope to be happy. They will be happy without it, knowing they never needed it, since hope and positive/boundlessly optimistic thoughts are for weak people and cynics.
The post pandemic reality won't be a new normal, it will be the same old dysfunctional world some people have forgotten they missed. Nobody will miss what they are told the new normal is, nobody will miss the wildfire spreading, or what they are told the new world order is. The old stuff is still around.

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.
