I found a great deal on a coffee machine. It’s being sold at a great price (20% off), I love coffee and it will pay for itself within weeks.

Hmm I won’t get it today because it might drop in price by another 50% tomorrow.

Next day: oh no, the coffee machine deal I found has expired before I could make the purchase, the price has increased 20% I yooned it.

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.
