earphone phaker

When a person has earphones in apparently listening to music, but in reality listening to other people's conversations, usually about how creepy that person is.

Other people think he's not paying attention because he's jamming to music, so it's a very affective illusion.

Usually employed by creepers, stalkers, or when a person happens to overhear something about themselves, in which they turn down or off their music to hear what is being said.

Another similar illusion is pretending to sleep. People then open up and start talking about things they may not while one is awake.
"I don't think we can talk right now. Jake looks like he's earphone phaking."

"I was earphone phaking the other day, and I heard Amanda likes Joe!"

"Man! I hate Mike! He's such a earphone phaker!"

earphone maneuver 

When a person listening to music through a pair of earphones is confronted another person and takes an earphone out of only one ear. This usually happens because they know the person who confronted them will only want to engage in small talk and, therefore, don't find it worth the effort of taking off both earphones.
Person 1: *spots person 2 after class* Dude, class was so boring today.

Person 2: *does the earphone maneuver* Yeah... it was.

Person 1: Yeah, so I guess I'll see you tomorrow!

Person 2: Later. *puts earphone back on and continues listening to music*

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.
