A store that people think of as a place where they can get stuff for free. Thus, they complain like spoiled brats and try to cheat the store whenever possible, and when they are caught cheating and/or stealing, they scream and yell like 3-year-olds and treat the people working their like shit.
I broke my fridge by drilling holes in it! I want Sears to replace it, even though I have no warranty!

Asshole: What do you mean, under warranty? It's a Craftsman, they're guranteed for life!
Associate: Only hand tools are guranteed like that. Power Tools have moving parts, so they are only covered for a year. If you weren't a fucking moron, you'd have read the side of the box where it says so.

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.
