Rations can be a alternative way to say “ffs” , “ugh” “wth” etc... instead of actually being rude and swearing etc. There are many more examples of this word in this context but it’s mainly that and also when someone is disgusted or something saying the word “rations” is a quick reaction to something negative. This is also used as a A small portion of anything in this context too it doesn’t even have to be food if it’s just a small charger or something you would say “that’s rations” if you are not happy with something for example having to work over time you would say “how rations” etc etc..

Calling someone a ration may just be a nicer way to call them a twat/idiot or just if you have a habitat of that word and ration isn’t a swear word so you won’t be offending anyone by calling them that.

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.
