Titanicking

A word used in the editing process that refers to when someone writes something with characters, such as a book, play or movie, where character names are repeated way too often and/or an unrealistic amount, inevitably ruining the immersion for the reader and value and flow of the writing.

The word is in reference to the movie Titanic, when Jack and Rose said each other's names way too many times. It also refers to the writing sinking like the ship did.

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.
