n. In Baltimoron, this is the "home city" of Baltimore. While this is the usual spelling for the word, a more correctly phonetic spelling would be "Bawlamer." (Those of you in the Mid-West might pronounce the first "a" as a short a, and that would be incorrect.) Baltimore is frequently shortened further to "Balmer." Again, this is the accepted spelling, but a more correctly phonetic spelling would be "Bawlmer."
"Doen'cha knoe, I'm from Balamer,
'n' crabs is whut I'm eechin' feur!
Doen'cha knoe, Santa dear,
With sum cold crabs 'nd a beer,

-Baklaag's Song-
Go forth, my minions,
buy a shiny new game!
The merchants will thank you,

though wallets might blame.

So many adventures
for you to begin!
Ignore your old titles,
it's hardly a sin.

Let those kingdoms rot,
whose worlds you've seen.
For if you bring closure,
you'll just end the dream.

Though maidens may weep,
ever locked in their tower.
And villains rejoice,
secure in their power.

You need not mind,
you'll be safe in a trance.
Chasing every new fad,
you don't have a chance.

So heed not the calls,
"Everyman!" and "Good luck!"
And feed the unfinished
while I "BUK BUK BUK!"

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.
