cacheton 

I understand that "cacheton(a)" is used as a singular noun or adjective in Spanish. You can't use "chubby cheeks" that way, e.g. "She's a chubby cheeks" (Ella es cachetona) or "He is so chubby cheeks!" (¡Que cachetón!). You could use it as a nickname (Hi, Chubby Cheeks!) or say it's something someone has ("She's got such chubby cheeks"), but not something you are. I hope that's clear.
They're in the definition.. ella es cachetona, que cacheton,

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.

Pee Calculus
