The art of referring to events or feelings cryptically.
Often practised on sites like LiveJournal, e-where posters attempt to use crypticism to avoid starting drama. Unfortunately, when people try to interpret the crypticism drama often ensues anyway.
The best crypticism is incomprehensible to anyone not already in the know, but makes things quite clear to its intended audience.

Someone who gets unbelievably passionate about human rights, social change, equality etc. etc. They have strong opinions and (occasionally) sound theories but do nothing about them. This person only voices their opinion when they don't believe they'll get called out, but never stick to their guns when faced with a situation which challenges the beliefs they care about so keenly.

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.
