2. Have very little or no practical knowledge for what they are making decisions on.
Supervisor: Team, as you all know we had an incident last week where Larry tripped on his own shoelaces. Going forward an alarm will ring on the intercom every 15 minutes. When you hear the alarm, please stop what you are doing and check your shoelaces.

Employee: Who come up with this genius idea?

Supervisor: I got an email from corporate this morning mandating it.

Employee: Fucking Cube People!

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.
