TUPOCRACY 

Tupocracy: The word Tupocracy is generated from the Greek word 'Tupos' which means, an example to be imitated.

Tupocracy therefore is a system of government involving people who lead by positive example based on integrity, transparency, patriotism and godly character which is worthy of emulation by followers. Compared with democracy, Oligarchy, bureaucracy, monarchical system of governance where a character is often not the basis for governance and administration, tupocracy exercises its power more in an image reflection and imitation style of ruling. Tupocracy as a word was first mentioned in 2007 by Godwin Amaowoh

noun

is a belief that, tyranny is but only evil when its wrath is directed towards the innocent, but it is also good and just, when employed as a means for attaining a just end for the suffering of the innocent and the vanquished. Therefore, tyocracy maintains that the evil element in association with the concept of tyranny lies not in its inherent disposition. Hut rather it lies in the intent behind its application.
The idealistic principle behind the concept of tyocracy can best be defined by the pursuit for justice when numerous individuals who were found guilty of committing war crimes against the innocent during the second world war, were subsequently placed before the firing squad.

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.
