Doing a Haye 

The pitiful attempt to cover up a person's lack of skill or inability to perform by blaming the outcome on a bruised finger or toe e.g. a swollen pinky

A reference to heavyweight boxer, David Haye, and his loss to Vladimir Klitschko.
Before the fight: "I'm gonna rip his head off and eat his brains!"

After the fight: "My little toe wasn't on my side for this fight. We were supposed to be a team. I've been let down by it and will be raising the issue with management in due course"

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.
