Quirtibation 

Quirtibation is a term that was coined by dyspraxic individuals to describe a phenomenon, common in people with the developmental disorder dyspraxia, wherein a lapse in coordination between the body and mind causes an involuntary, inaccurate and/or sudden motion such as a flail or fumble. The word is not considered offensive unless used in an otherwise derogatory context.

While quirtibation originally referred specifically to dyspraxic neuron misfiring, it has since been adopted more broadly and can be colloquially used to refer to any unexpected physical movement or failure of motor skills, regardless of neurotype.

Etymologically, quirtibation derives from a mondegreen (mishearing) of the word "coordination." This mishearing is believed to have arisen due to comments received and/or made by dyspraxics about their lack thereof.

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.
