The Fallacy of The Eagles' Greatest Hits 

One in which possession of an object or a shared interest -- e.g., the music of The Eagles or their Greatest Hits album -- fails to indicate any commonality, agreeability, or similar personality between two or more people. As in, just because you have a copy of Eagles' Greatest Hits and someone like Benito Mussolini does too doesn't make you the same type of guy. Coined by a music critic in an interview with VH1.
The Fallacy of The Eagle's Greatest Hits goes like this: Just because you have a copy of Eagles' Greatest Hits and someone like Benito Mussolini does too doesn't make you the same type of guy.

The fallacy of The Eagles' Greatest Hits is like that song, "Breakfast at Tiffany's."

Maybe she liked it but that doesn't make you compatible; it means nothing!

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.
