Icing the Kicker 

A term referring to the occurrence of an unexpected delay in an already tense or anxiety-filled situation that causes the build-up of even more tension or anxiety. Originates from the term used to describe the act of calling a time out on the football field right before a field goal kick in order to give the kicker more time to think and thus more time to build up nervousness.
Example 1
"Dude, I waited outside for her in my car for 30 minutes!"
"That sucks man."
"Yeah...all that waiting totally threw off my mojo for our first date."
"Classic case of "icing the kicker", man."

Example 2

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.
