As an elderly character who grew up with 50's TV in the original B&W (Monochrome Grey Scale), I think Maven with a modifier (Code Maven, etc. Maven) would have similar roots. Hacker: One who makes furniture with an axe. Maven: The one who always knows EXACTLY how much to tip.

The difference between the US and UK is simple.
You are a British SUBJECT. I am an American Citizen. As a citizen I have the responsibility to bring down an evil government when it violates the constitution. The 2nd Amendment give me the tools to do the job.
As a subject, you are owned cattle, of no importance at all, if you live or die the Crown does not care.
Now, tell us about the TV personality who got shot down dead in London?
It amazes me how few people know about the US Gun Control laws.
In many US Cities, New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco for examples, the issuance of permits to buy, own and carry concealed are "at the disgression" of the police.
This means that Senator (D) Diane Feinstein, while Mayor of SF, issued ONE and ONLY ONE permit, her own.
In NYC you had to be "connected" in some way to the Democrat Political Machine, find a politician slip him $500 and you got the permit. Al Capone, famous Chicago Import Export businessperson of the 1930's, had a NYC permit to carry a gun.
