bumbelino 

Ethiopian name for a fried doughnut pastry. Unlike the Italian bombolone, it has no filling. It resembles a plain, un-glazed doughnut- but definitely tastes better.

One theory for the different name is the Ethiopian tradition of purposely misspelling popular Italian names or phrases. During the 1st Italy-Ethiopian War, Haile Selassie ordered Mussolini's name to be pronounced as Mussol-ONI. Power to the people.
Hirut: Aman, let's go buy a bumbelino ..
Aman: Sure, let's go for shai (tea)- it'll serve as breakfast.

bumbling buffoon 

A bumbling buffoon is someone who wakes up in the morning and bumbles around not having any direction whatsoever. He needs to do many unimportant things like take the trash across the property and poop. And he takes about three hours to do it. A bumbling buffoon takes forever to do anything. It takes him twenty minutes just to pay for a parking meter because he has to search through his car for change when he could just use his debit card. He makes everyone wait around for him because he thinks that his mission is priority when we're all just waiting for him to get it together so we can have our pancakes and go already.
"I'll get up in twenty minutes." Twenty minutes later: "I have to poop. I have to transfer my pictures..." And then the "bumbling buffoon" says, "oh, I have to call the operator." He makes everyone wait for his bumbling around buffoonery before they can carry on with life.

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.
