Well, it doesn't take a genius to realise,
being good at school can be cool. Put on your lab coats, BOFFINS RULE!

Umm... umm... I'd actually rather you didn't use the word "boffin", 'cause if anything it means "having sex".

(v) the act of creeping on underclassmen. Usually done from a distance and if caught, make a witty remark or attempt an inside joke to escape the blame.
Ellen: so what did you do after school yesterday?
Sam: well I went boffin' but these freshmen almost caught me so I made a joke and ran!

in the deep dark depths of bourtreehill Scotland there is a place so foul and stingy that any natural wildlife has vacated the premises the river is a colour unknown to man and the acidity is higher than the Chernobyl water deposit. the flats are so manky and rotten that no one even lives in them any more the junkies now inhabit the higher levels and use it for dodgy deals and overdoses. for consumables we have the local corner shop which has a till made from cardboard we also have the boffin bar where u can get shot/chibbed for 5p be sure to head round the back of the pub for some free STIs and diseases. overall a lovely place.

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.
