Pactivist 

Passive activists. They frequent facebook and other social media sites to complain about the world's problems, but don't actually do anything about it. They form groups such as "anonymous" to discretely bitch online towards someone else without someone getting pinned with blame. Mostly internet trolls who have too much time on their hands.
I saw Maggie on fb posted an article about how Obama isn't taking action on the fight against Ebola. Straight up pactivist.

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.
