Changing of fact for no apparent reason by the Joint Aviation Authority in the Theoretical Knowledge requirements for an ATPL(a)
Information required to be known by trainee pilots studying for a JAA-ATPL(a) which is not representative in any way, shape, or form of what actually occurs in reality.

In some cases, the definition of a word may differ depending on which module or subject you are studying. The same is true with key figures.

An example Jar-ism is that the el-nino phenomenon does not exist. (According to JAA when studying global climatology as part of the meteorology syllabus.)

Procedures and figures used in reality are completely different to those required to be known to pass the JAA Theoretical ATPL(a) Exams.

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.

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
