Tin-eared
Graph-paper brained accountants
Instead of music fans
Call all the shots at giant record companies now

Forget honesty
Forget creativity
The dumbest buy the mostest

But sales are slumping
And no one will say why
Could it be they put out one too many lousy records?!?

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.

I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
