chamnesia 

The mental phenomenon of forgetting what horrible task a towel or cloth (or chamois) was used for before the current use.
When I shower, I am mindful to finish using the washcloth on my face before I wash my nethers. Thanks to a healthy dose of chamnesia, I will start out with that same cloth on my face the next time I wash up.

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.
