tempera tantrum
Refers to a noisy/voluminous outburst of frazzled-nerved emotion involving watercolors, either emanating from a creator/observer of a messy spill/soiling involving said paint, or the resulting preposterous canvas-creation (think, abstract art) when the "genius painter" supposedly experiences a "creative epiphany" and totally "goes wild" with his colors in an effort to supposedly illustrate his inspirations, emotions, Heavenly-based vision, etc.
Old-school art-critic: I can't believe that the TV auction actually sold that hideous tempera tantrum for several million dollars --- first of all, who in his right mind would even WANT that confusing monstrosity slapped up on his parlor-wall to stare at night and day, anyway?? And second, why should anyone want to actually BUY something like that, when it's nothing special and exhibits absolutely zero talent? Why, I'm no artist, but I could easily create something like that myself in under five minutes just by splashing some paint around and callin' it good! Zheeeeeesh....!!

Boffin
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.
