John Barosa 

Mr. Barrister John Warosa, or simply John Warosa, is a fictional character, created by an unnamed 419 advanced fee scammer, and later co-opted by YouTuber Atomic Shrimp, and has become infamous in the scambaiting community. His backstory varies, but he is usually portrayed as a barrister, or a hypothetical second scammer, attempting to interrupt an ongoing scam. He was immortalised in song by Eric Castiglia's song "The Soul Called Mr. Barrister John Warosa."

Notably, the spelling of his last name is inconsistent, due to an error on the part of the scammer than originally conceived him, and is spelled both "Barosa" and "Warosa", with the Barosa spelling normally appearing in video titles, and the Warosa spelling appearing in the video itself.

Definitely a portugese last name. People with this last name tend to be crazy, obnoxious, outgoing, and a little temperamental. Beware when talking to these people, because they tend to be PRETTY loud!

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.
