Paranormal 

Anything unexplainable by science. Anything supposedly thought to be the figment of imagination which cannot be proved by scientific means. Extra terrestrials and ghosts fit into this category. There is no proof that either do not exist. If you have ever seen anything you can't explain scientifically, then that is paranormal by definition.

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.
