Shardlock Holmes
"Shardlock Holmes" is a methhead that investigates to find the inconsiderably small amounts of meth that mysteriously dropped to the ground from the previous meth smoking session. In most cases Shardlock is more than often deceived by other bits of shit (that would look like shards if you were fucking high enough) on the ground, the perpetrator is often glass, wax, popcorn or skin that his druggie friends picked off themselves. His endeavours could be compared to "methscapades" or "carpet farming" all equally frowned upon in the Jib Tech Warrior Nation. His profession is dangerous and will slowly drive him insane.
Holmes is not famous for his acute sense of logical reasoning, it seems he'll never be sober enough to see that the magnifying glass he found doesn't truly make a difference.
Will Shardlock Holmes ever solve the mystery of the last lost shard?

Jib Tech Warrior #1 : Shit man, we're out of jib.
Jib Tech Warrior #2: No man, we dropped like a fucken... 10 on my bed lets fucking take out my mom's comb and it'll be like an excavation site !!!! LOOK THERE'S A SHARD !
Jib Tech Warrior #1: That's a piece of salt from the pretzels you were eating earlier. I swear if you start investigating for fucking "shards" again and being Shardlock Holmes I'll take my pipe and leave.

sharding
Splitting a database into several pieces, usually to improve the speed and reliability of your application.
Sharding strictly speaking is a synonym for "horizontal partitioning" or dividing up a database table by its rows.
In common use, sharding refers to having some data for an app on one database server, and other data in another. Often this is done by having specific tables hosted on specific servers, with a function determining which server contains the information being requested.
Sharding is frequently discussed with regard to large web based applications, but is not limited to any particular industry.
As a practical example, a WordPress MultiSite installation hosting several hundred thousand blogs could have the tables for sites 1-100,000 running on one database server 100,001-200,000 on another or 200,001+ on a third. An alternative sharding implementation could be to have the 50 busiest blogs' tables split between the first two servers all remaining blog data on the third server. Likewise, data could be partitioned based upon the geographic location of the web servers delivering each blog.

When our site became so popular it kept overwhelming our database servers, we looked into sharding the database between five different data centers.

Boffin
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.
