Trumpology

Contrary to the traditional apology or statement of regret for one's actions, the trumpology is where one actually doubles down, steers into the skid, and makes a comment that serves to inflate the original offense.
Trumpology ex #1:
Anderson Cooper: "Mr. Trump, many activists are demanding that you apologize for claiming that you will build a wall along the US-Mexico border if elected president. What do you have to say to them?"
The Donald: "We're gonna build a wall...and Mexico is going to pay for it!"

Trumpology ex #2:
Reporter: "Johnny, now that you've been released from the Browns, are you going to clean up your act?"
Johnny Manziel: "I'm living out in LA with my guy, Von Miller. We might be partying six nights a week but we're trying to get our lives together, bro. I just wanna ball, bro. I don't think there's anything wrong with partying, bro. There's a difference between partying and being out of control."

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.
