Music that is so loud the quality decreases. A term used by acoustic musicians for when the volume of music is so great the actual sound is distorted as a result. This is similar to how screaming isn't just louder than speaking, but also raspier. Blastissimo doesn't have a set decibel level, nor is it defined by audience preference, but defined by the ability of musician and instrument to produce melodious sounds.

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.
