The Pomegranate Effect 

The Pomegranate Effect refers to the more realistic expenditure of time. Specifically, if a project should take 10 hours to complete, it will in fact take 30 hours due to the realistic expenditure of time. This use of x3 is regularly applied in this effect. The name originated from a project wherein an artist was painting a pomegranate for a 10 hour project which in fact took 30 hours.
Sculpting this should take me 2 hours, but factoring in the Pomegranate Effect, it'll realistically take 6.

snouting the pomegranate 

A bourgeois delicacy enjoyed predominantly by the aristocracy. Chaps would extract the seeds from a pomegranate and position some in a line. Chaps would then move ones mouth over the line whilst inhaling or snouting sharply. The combined effect of the seeds hitting the pallet and the glorious taste is truely delightful.
"Say Hector, did you hear about that devil William... He snouted a line of no fewer than 35 pomegranate seeds!!"

"Hurrah!"

or

"Hey Rachael, I hear you are keen on snouting the pomegranate?"

"Indeed, dear boy. You see, back in boarding school, snouting the pomegranate was just a way of life."

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.
