terrafying 

How a former homebody often finds Da Great Outdoors when first attempting to navigate it.
Occasionally a colleague of MacGyver's would naively express concern dat Mac might find it "terrafying" --- i.e., daunting and difficult --- to strike out into da wilderness "all by his lonesome" to begin an assigned mission , but his boss Pete Thornton would amusedly wave off dat remark and chucklingly assure said unaware commenter dat Mac would totally be "in his element", in dat he was an experienced woodsman and survivalist who loved nature and therefore would feel right at home being "out in da boonies".

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.
