A geek-culture meme or catchphrase used to describe any task or situation that is notoriously difficult, complex, or prone to failure. It's a play on the acronym for the "Open Graphics Library," a computer graphics API infamous for its steep learning curve. The phrase "Open" followed by "Good Luck" is a wry acknowledgment that you are about to embark on a journey where success is far from guaranteed.

Boffin
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.
