The Gareth Bridges are a series of bridges built in the South of Australia, used in a blessing ceremony for young lovers. It is customary to carry asian mail order brides to their awaiting husbands across the Gareth Bridges as they are situated adjacent to the airport. It is said that Kylie Minogue once walked over the Gareth Bridges before meeting Jason Donovan. The Gareth Bridges were closed in 2007 because of the dynamic loading of the 6th bridge caused a minor collapse. Some have called for an age limit, as encounters on the Gareth Bridges can be dangerous and scary.

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.
