Terminal Wokeness 

Terminal Wokeness is the state of a company franchise or product that becomes so Woke that it has lost and or abandoned what fans and customers formerly found appealing about it.
Terminal Wokeness exists in an era where more and more Western companies became Woke and this causes those that are or were so invested in the company product or franchise to vote with their money or vote with their feet and leave. This led to observable losses in the company or mass abandonment or rejection of the company product or franchise by current and or former fans and customers.
Sometimes known as Get Woke Go Broke.

Terminal Wokeness describes to the fan and customer that the company franchise or product would rather push "approved" politics ideology and world view such as Social Justice Feminism and Political Left, over making a good product tv show and movie telling a story or improve upon what they have already built.
Terminal Wokeness: When something becomes so Woke that it can no longer return to what it once was.

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.
