Megalopolis 

A series of interconnecting or adjacent cities with a total population of 10 million or greater.

Many of these areas, as well as being centers of business and industry, are also a cultural meccae and have a major affect on the cultures and lifestyles of their residents as well as their countries and the rest of the world and vice versa.

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.
