Kernow or Cornwall is a beautiful Celtic nation in the far south west of Britain as defined by the Celtic League, Celtic Congress and various other pan-Celtic groups. Along with the other recognised Celtic nations, Eire, Alba, Cymru, Mannin and Breizh it boasts a Celtic language of its own – the key criterion of Celticity and distinct culture. Together with the other Celtic nations, the Cornish are fighting for more recognition of their identity, ethnicity and more say in their own governance. Kernow is also recognised as a Duchy and is entitled to it's own Stannary Parliament as granted under the Charter of Pardon of 1508 which is still law even today and gives the Stannary the right to veto any Westminster legislation.
Kernow is famous for its friendly people, fantastic beaches, great pasties and its passion for rugby !

Kerron is someone who is extremely outgoing. He is one of the friendliest people you'll ever come across and is also known as a pretty boy. He is always going out of his way to put a smile on somebody's face, and even when he's going through things, he keeps a positive attitude. A pure comedian. He is a strong and kind-hearted individual who will fight battles for himself and the ones he loves, but there are not too many people who have a special place in his heart. Kerron is the one person who lights up an entire dull room full of people. It's impossible to not love and adore Kerron.

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.
