The Root Of All Evil 

A debate television show hosted by Lewis Black which is played on Comedy Central. It takes two topics, and has two low-brow washed up comedians (like Greg Geraldo) argue about which is the worse of the two. While Lewis Black is the supposed star of this series, for the first 20 minutes of the show (need I remind you it's a 30 minute show) he only makes appearances by grinning at obviously unfunny jokes and looking at the screen.

The series was launched off with a decent topic, "Beer vs. Weed". Just after that, the topics started getting stupider and stupider, such as "Kim Jong Il vs. Tila Tequila" or "Las Vegas vs. The Human Body". At this rate a new season will be extremely unlikely, and it's cancellation is imminent.
Person 1: Hey, are you gonna watch The Root Of All Evil tonight?"

Person 2: Nah, I think their idea of "George Bush vs. Bread" is too cliche.

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.
