ringback tone 

A little "trend" started by Verizon wireless in which songs are substituted for that same old ringing sound.
Unfortunately, each sound clip is tinny and static-ridden, and lasts about 30 seconds before repeating.
They may also cause your friends to hate you. Realize that this is only because you've had "Baby Got Back" on ringback for sixth months. This is why they no longer call you.
Along with the tones comes a tricky system online where you set them up and decide whether you want a Jukebox (a playlist of many different songs) or just one song over and over again. Each tone is $0.99 and lasts a year.

Ringjacker 

A possessive douchebag who tries to contain an otherwise freely available girl. He keeps her off the market by gifting her a ring way too early in the relationship. He showers her with affection and makes her promise to be faithful to him because she's the only one and he's different from all the other scum-nuts she's dated before him. Meanwhile the boy who loved her from a distance and was about to ask her out notices the gold band and begins his long journey into drug abuse, alcoholism and casual one nighters with cheap hookers.

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.
