Pseudo Celebrity 

A pseudo celebrity is someone who has become famous without having done anything to deserve it, they are the wasters, the drones and parasites of humanity. Having achieved nothing worthwhile, they are best described as the liggers and Kim Kardashians of this world, the braindead youtubers, talentless and lacking any sort of distinction. They are the self-centred and egotistical nonentities for whom princess syndrome is a way of life. The only reason they are celebrities is because they have more egotisticalbullshit than normal people, they are pseuds, thus pseudo celebrities.

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.
