The ideological movement of the cliche "freedom and democracy", FAD, that the Westernist propagandists (in politics, media, academia, business, peasantry) repeat as means to get the culturally and economically neoliberal regimes they want as ends.

It can also be the noun form of "fade" which often accompanies the decline in growth (or even decline altogether) of industry, education, and unity for societies which adopt this ideology.

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.
