ebonification 

The modern-day raping, deconstruction, and reconstitution of our cherished idioms and expressions. For example, "Back in the good old days," has become, "Back in the day." Suggesting that there was only one day in existence prior to the present. And "I don't believe you just did that," has become "Oh, no you didn't," which is meaningless because, obviously, they have indeed.
The ebonification of the age-old expression has rendered it nonsensical.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
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.
