Tolossa (n) is a name you can give to someone very proud of his/her identity. Tolossa people will not pretend to be someone they are not even if pretending would have been beneficial at the moment. As such they are not good for acting roles.

The origin is a TV evangelist's episode in Ethiopia where the evangelist told a congregation member the latter has a new name now. When the evangelist asked "What's your name now?" the guy responded with his original name "Tolossa" instead of playing along and saying the new anointed name.
Mary: Hey honey I thought Meghan would be starring in your new skit.

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.
