His communication style is a blend of raised eyebrows, heavy sighs, and an occasional harrumph that could put a disgruntled badger to shame. Every sentence seems to start with a "Back in my day…" and end with a "Kids these days…" – as if he's been appointed the official spokesperson for the Grumpy Geriatric Society.

But here's the twist: every now and then, when you least expect it, a Wren will unleash a joke that's so unexpected, so out of character, that you'll question if he's secretly moonlighting as a stand-up comedian. His deadpan delivery and the sheer absurdity of his jokes will leave you wondering if you've stepped into an alternate universe where irritable Geriatrics moonlight as comedians.
You can spot a WRen from a mile away, thanks to his signature "I'm not impressed" eyebrows that are practically in competition with his hairline.

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.

I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
