sainsbury's 

sainsbury's (also known as J Sainsbury)is a supermarket in the UK and it's pretty soi disant - that means it's stuck up. fat-tongued essex boy Jamie Oliver currently fronts up the ads for this dismal store. I bet he hates himself for that, although he can have all the pukka food he likes because he gets a shit load of wonga for saying things like 'try something different'. try waitrose instead.
I noticed a grammatical error at sainsbury's today - it should be '10 items or fewer', not 'less'.

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.
