spamhead 

meaning - large forehead
Originated at Parklands Secondary school, Bexley, (UK) in 1970's
On his first day at the school, follically challenged and slightly effiminate French Language Teacher Mr Samuel Pam was powerless to prevent 1,200 boys adopting a new craze of slapping each others foreheads and coining the phrase Spamhead after we saw that he signed his name SPAM on our report cards.
Mr Pam valliantly endured 12 years of this torture before taking early retirement.
Term later went on to be used as a general discription for anyone who committed the cardinal sin of being boffin or acting a "bit gay"
Teacher - "why did you hit Jones?"
Boy A - "Well, he was being a spamhead"
Boy B - "No i'm not he spammed me for nuffink!
"

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.
