People you keep seeing on a trip involving air travel: at check-in, in the security line, at starbucks, waiting at the gate, sitting three rows ahead of you, waiting for baggage claim, etc

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.”
