the 8 o'clock 

A term that was coined during our college years.
When you see someone that you know but you don't feel like talking to them, you do what you would do at 8 o'clock in the morning on your way to class (probably after a heavy night of drinking and a keg stand or two) and you are absolutely not in the mood for small talk, you look down or pretend not to see them.
Dude 1: "I saw Jane on the street yesterday."
Dude 2: "Did you say hello?"
Dude 1: "Hell no, I wasn't in the mood, gave her the 8 o'clock."

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.
