ricer turn-off 

A variation of the ricer flyby whereby a driver of a vehicle attempts to initiate a race by cutting off the target at a high rate of speed but before the driver of the other vehicle can respond or realizes what just happened while they were minding their own business, the ricer proceeds to turn off onto a side street, parking lot or pull a u-turn.

The technique is usually performed to save face by avoiding embarrassment and keep the ego of the driver and their inadequate machine intact. This serves to boost the self-esteem of the instigator or for the purpose of ultimate internet forum bragging rights.

Historically this maneuver was performed by drivers of anemically underpowered cars but the popularity of ricer turn offs has increased exponentially and can be seen now being performed by vehicles of every make and model including imports, domestics, minivans, pickup trucks, luxury vehicles and mopeds.

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.
