Wall Candy 

Paint chips. Derived from the occurrence of physical and mental problems in children who were ignorant of the dangers of ingesting dried flakes of lead-based house paint, claiming to have eaten "wall candy" is an indication of possible induced pathological stupidity. See Penny Arcade, 1999 Oct 18, "Boob Raider".
Tycho: "You ate a lot of paint as a kid, huh."

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.
