akward turtle 

a classy way to describe an akward situation and also to break an akward silence. most popularly used in the lower portin of westchester (yonkers, hartsdale, bronxville) but suprisingly unknown, for the most part, in places like scarsdale and eastchester. the proper hand motion is your hand one on top the other palms up, thumbs moving in a circular motion. many people do it with the palms facing down which is CLEARLY wrong and classless. (see akward uterus, the retarted turtle)

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.
