A terabyte is pretty much the largest amount of computer space that is commercially available. It usually only comes in the form of an external hard drive. A terabyte is equal to 1024 gigabytes or 8,796,093,022,208 bits.

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.
