Inferiority complex 

People who have an inferiority complex assume other people have a superiority complex, especially tall people. The reality is no one is inferior or superior to the next person, and that every person is also as different as a fingerprint. As long as that's true, equality doesn't exist since equality means exactly the same. Even identical twins are not exactly the same. The trouble is when people take the statement that no two people are the same and turn it into a statement that involves better than or less than.
Guy 1- There's no such thing as true equality, since true equality would mean everyone was exactly the same, and the world would be boring if it were like that.
Guy 2- First off, don't make me feel less than like you're better than me, I'll defend anybody that you make feel that way, we are all equal. You're saying you're better than me.
Guy 1- No, I didn't mention anybody being better or worse than you. I know what I said, I said that equality doesn't exist since no two people are exactly the same, and the world would be boring if they were the same. You're adding the rest and expecting nobody to react to your bullshit. Your inferiority complex is as much to blame for an argument as the attitude you said I had.

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.
