mawkish

Mawkish means excessive sentimentality or a unhealthy fascination with death or tragedy.

Comes from the old English word 'maggot' and originally meant “sickly or nauseated' But mawkish eventually evolved to mean something so overly sentimental it makes you sick.

Nowadays it has come to mean those who have a fascination and a joy in tragedy and bereavement and enjoy placing flowers on celebrity or national tragedy grave sites or monuments even though you have no connection to them family wise or friend wise.

She just placed a bunch of flowers on that strangers grave site just cause she saw it on Facebook that is so mawkish!

Makkish

An adjective used to describe a person's behaviour as having a tendency to lean towards being overtly autistic with a solid touch of being a cunt.
The slang derives from the fact that Macintosh computers are associated with Steve Jobs who, while alive, was overtly autistic and a cunt.

Jeff Bezos and Tom Cruise are similar in that both have very punchable faces and that might have something to do with them being makkish.

Boffin

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.
