The Tampon

A mediocre personality, sets a poor example as a friend, widely regarded as a horrible person, an inadequate lover and definitely on the outer as a loved family member.

Rarely will you find someone who likes the cut of this mans jib.

Last seen taking stock of himself.

Prior to that, last seen taking a good hard look at himself. It's likely that he was the person who last saw himself, whilst taking a look at himself. Because that makes sense.

NB: Occasionally a good bloke but barely deserves a mention. In the interest of being balanced, he has excellent taste in choosing groomsmen for his wedding.

"Ha! Did you hear The Tampon injured himself again?"

"The tampon is not a good friend but I now feel obligated to keep him around"

The Drunken Tampon 

Apparently the foolish kids in my generation thought getting drunk the regular way wasn't working too good so they created "the drunken tampon." It involves soaking a tampon in vodka then inserting it into your vagina, or if you're a boy your anus. I don't know if this results in actual intoxication but why don't you try it and let me know! haha

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.
