Catching Jokes 

Used by some to describe the regular consumption of alcohol to excess, rendering one incapable of motor control or muscular integrity. Despite the suggestion implicit in the phrase, there is in fact nothing amusing or comical about such a situation. It is in fact a dark and rather pathetic state of affairs.

Use of phrase especially favoured by alcoholic apologists. (See dickhead)

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.
