The Webb Schools

A small private boarding school in Claremont California where the majority of your tuition goes to inane things like golf carts, pointless swivel-chair desks, and unnecessary fancy Porta Potties. A place with selling points like the Alf Museum to mask the amount of stress/pressure students face. A place where literally everyone has a leadership role to get into a good college, but who are we kidding, only like 2 people get into the Ivy League schools. A place with decent food, if you like chicken. A place that believes in second chances until you bring alcohol or drugs into the mix. A place that prides itself on being a school of diversity, when in reality, all the faculty are white and the students are ‘diverse’ if you count the 1000 asian races. A place that claims to believe in stress & mental health, but just rents boba trucks until people stop talking about it. A place that has breaks every six weeks to avoid burn-out potential. A place where everyone hooks up when they can find time. A place where kids are forced to mature extremely quickly because otherwise there is no possible way of keeping up with the 6 hrs of hw per night. A place where getting A's is celebrated, but a B is failing. Where the average ACT score is a 31 because everyone secretly hires Test Prep Gurus. A place that only voices liberal opinions but claims to represent all political beliefs. A place where you'll find the best and worst people you'll ever meet. Oh and did I mention, no one sleeps?
college admissions officer 1: "So this student's record looks great... except they got a suspension once for taking an Uber?!"

college admissions officer 2: "They must be from The Webb Schools!"

college admissions officer 1: "Yikes, his ACT score is a 29 and he took only 6 AP's... Let's wait-list him!"

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.
