Scouse slang for "surely" due to the pronunciation by polly-heads. Often confused with the name "Shirley", the word is used to emphasise the speaker's firm belief that what they are saying is true and often their surprise that there is any doubt of this.

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.
