Talk-Blocker 

Someone, usually an intern or less gifted coworker, who doesn't stop talking to a colleague or superior about a topic you wish to speak about, but because they sound pathetic and annoying, you realize you can't possibly jump in the conversation or follow up without also sounding annoying, even when you know your are smarter, more relevant and usually better looking. And thus your talk has been blocked.
Say your new to a job and want to make an impression to your new boss, so you get ready to talk to them about something you really know, and then this older intern who was hired to organize folders on the servers and punch holes in paper, starts blabbing about the same thing to your boss, and you see they want to run away, and you're like oh shit, I can't follow that or the boss will hate me too. Damn you talk-blocker, damn you. Of course you realize you are getting paid and he is not, so that's cool.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
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.
