An acronym for Fat Old Balding Blokes In Tee Shirts.

When internet chatroom regulars meet up for a social occasion, the older, fatter men will often dress in tee-shirts to try and appear younger. The tee-shirts are invariably black or very dark (with some trendy picture or humorous comment) to try to hide their spreading girth.
Did you see the meet up pics? What a load of fobbits!

They might be trolling on-line, but they dress as fobbits when you meet them.

It's a waste of time you trying to buy tee-shirts in trendy shops - they don't cater for fobbits.

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.
