A humorous meme that began with a photo of an electric hand drier with the pictures describing how to use the machine. (One presses the button to begin the airflow) The images looked like they described "Push button to receive bacon"
*Guy looks at hand drier* "Ooh! Look! Push button, Recieve Bacon !"

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.”

According to the boffins downstairs, the murdererused a serrated blade.
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
