Turd Ferguson 

A name first created in a classic sketch on Saturday Night Live. The sketch was a parody of Celebrity Jeopardy that had Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek, Jimmy Fallon as Third Rock From The Sun's French Stewart, Norm McDonald as Burt Reynolds, and Darryl Hammond as Sean Connery. In fact, the first definition for Sean Connery is a reference to this very sketch. Anyway, the name was created by Burt Reynolds in the sketch.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
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.
