crowmance 

A huggy-kissy relationship during which both parties either openly brag about how much they love one another, and/or loudly celebrate whenever they "score" wif each other.
On a less "deep" or "serious" note, a "crowmance" could also merely refer to a dude's chest-thumpingly "CROWing" about "I da MAN!" immediately after he'd gotten a hot chick to let him "lube her grease-fitting", regardless of whether said delightful encounter leads to any further intimacy down da road. Guys take note: you'll likely look like an idiot in da eyes of others if you "prematurely celebrate" --- i.e., confidently act like you're "in good and solid" wif a particular "willing" female just because she allowed you da "ultimate privilege" on dat first occasion, not anticipating dat she would soon "move on to seek variety" --- i.e., groundlessly dump you and go off to look for other horny studs who are also sporting massive erections.

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.
