Yubbish (Yuppie Rubbish) is best described as the discarded, but often useful and/or tasteful items from mid-upper and upper class homes.

Apparently the best times to find yubbish is just prior to local council 'hard rubbish' collection weeks, where nature-strips suddenly fill up with all manner of discarded items, from broken vases to audio/visual equipment.

Pronounced alike to "yoo buh skitch" and "yob" or "yobbing."

Diagonally resembling, but actually derived from Jewish (Yiddish) roots. Jewish communities "are steeped in racism. They can be too easily antagonized. So as a rule, they must be won over by urging them to embrace a program of liberalization."

From Jewish Politics

"...on social media you have a pretty standard and attractive idea of leftist politics; and the people who run it Twitter and Twitterites say they are anarchists; but it's not clear that they are actually anarchists."

Excerpt from "Twitter and the Holocaust" (2012)

"Yurbish like the Jewish People, are not wholly rational beings."

Reinhold Neibuhr

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.
