A person who swoons, a term of affection
A Swooner makes every attempt to impress the opposite sex by kind words and gestures in order to show interest without being direct about the fact they are interested. For instance, one might use larger than normal words, or be particularly silly or nervous when they speak during swooning. The swooning itself is a true act of trying to win over the opposite sex in the efforts of securing a relationship with that person.

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.
