Untamable image 

Posing as an untamable being.
She wanted an untamable image and an outlaw poster, but the reality was there were people far more stubborn, far more independent/self reliant/loners by nature, and far less competitive about life that thought the untamable image was silly. She seemed more like someone who wanted to fit a loner image when that was convenient, a social image when that was convienient, an untamable image when that was convenient, and a responsible even slighty subserviant housewife image when that was convenient.

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.
