A photard is that one person in the high school yearbook that didn't make it for photo day, and wound up with a photographic framing, lighting, or exposure situation that does not match the other several hundred photos in the book. Ironically enough, those students that are socially awkward, nerdy, and/or wear thick coke-bottle glasses often end up as photards.
"I can't believe i wound up being a photard AGAIN this year. Man i'm pissed off."
"Is it me, or is Brigette's picture sliiiighty photarded?"

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.
