Cautiously Pessimistic 

An increasingly relevant wordplay on the cliché "cautiously optimistic". As the world continues in free fall, its much more realistic to expect negative outcomes. Therefore, its much more pragmatic to maintain a cautiously pessimistic demeanor, rather than a cautiously optimistic one.
My cat is always cautiously pessimistic when inspecting anything new that I bring into the house.

posimistic 

A posimistic person is someone who has a very positive, affirmative, optimistic, favorable outlook on life.

It's actually a combination of the words postive and optimistic, hence " posimistic", "posimist " & " posimism ".

The opposite would of-course be "negamistic" , "negamist ", " negamism ", which is a combination of the words " negative " and " pessimistic " !
"Charlie is always posimistic, expecting the best in this best of all possible worlds, but sooner rather than later he must come to the realization that he cannot have his cake and eat it too !"

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.
