misophonia 

A new or undiscovered word to many, misophonia is condition in which certain sounds provoke strong negative emotional reactions in people (anger, panic, or disgust) to a person with the disorder. One or more "trigger" sounds can cause these emotions. Common trigger noises include (but are not limited to) chewing, snorting, slurping, whispering, whistling, shushing, lip-smacking, and sneezing. Misophonia tends to develop in children and gets progressively worse over time. If someone with misophonia tells you to stop whistling, slurping, ect, stop. If you don't stop, you are a twatmuffin and we can't be friends.
"Why does Alex get angry when I whistle?"
"He has Misophonia. It's a little like OCD but with certain noises."
"Well, I'm not a twatmuffin so I'll try to work on not whistling around him."

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
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.
