The best Welsh word going. Most people don’t understand what Welsh people mean when we say “popty ping”. A popty ping, in Wales, means a microwave.

Person 1 : what do you guys want for dinner?
Person 2 : chips, I guess
Person 1 : how do I make chips?
Person 3 : put them in a popty ping!

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.
