Acronym for "What Would Palin Say?". Inspired by the acronym WWJD ("What Would Jesus Do?"). Also inspired by the generally inane political commentary emerging from Tea Party favourite Sarah Palin's mouth and Twitter account. Acronym is referenced jokingly to imply that one should figure out where Palin stands on an issue, and then take the opposite stand - because of her illogical and extremist views.

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.”
