smoun (Verb) smowned, smown-ing, smowner
Smown is a combination of the words "smile" and "frown" and describes a facial expression whereby a smile is quickly replaced by a weak frown. This is sometimes accompanied by a soft sigh. As a "smown" contains aspects of both smiling and frowning it is better at expressing more complex emotions. If one witnesses a smown in another it possible that the "smowner" is feeling so much joy and/or pleasure that he/she is touched and feels emotional thus triggering a proto-frown.
*As "smown" is combination of two words and their definitions it is categorized as a portmanteau word.

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.
