personality like a 'can of dog food' 

A subjective personality type where the individual looks boring, plain (and even unappealing) on the outside even when they try to put a fun spin on themselves (usually because they try too hard to be likable), then when you crack them open (depending on your personality type) you realize... they are actually a pretty gross on the inside. However there are other people who do like them a LOT for whatever reason (dogs), these individuals tend to flock to them immediately, either in defense of them or to basically eat them up, often offering some of the person's bullshit up to others who usually tell them either, 'I'm good' or 'eww, gross', to which they immediately take offense.

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.
