psychiatric 

A hospital you never ever want to be admitted to. We all have that one wacko job for a relative or friend. Multiply that by like 300 and stick them all in a tiny room painted baby blue and make them talk about the issues they have and watch them go. It's like playing a game of stick the yellow shapes in the right spots and wait for the red box to explode and blow pieces everywhere. If you live near one I suggest you move because the crazy ass-holes break out the glass and run free. Then it is like playing a game of "Where's Weirdo". I worked at one and I will say that I could not wait to get to work. There was never a dull moment. If you love caos and mayhem you really should consider a career at the nut house.
Working at a psychiatric hospital is like having a year long pass to the freak show.

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.
