SNDS
SNDS, "Sudden Northwood Death Syndrome," refers to the vulnerability of Intel's Pentium 4's "Northwood" class processors to overclocking. Overclockers soon realized that after 1.7 volts, the processor would become gradually unstable, and eventually be completely unusable. The rate at which this happens varies entirely from processor to processor. That is, to say, it could take days, or even months, but it always happens, and always occurs at 1.7 volts (or higher, which obviously accelerates SNDS). Once a processor has contracted SNDS, the prognosis is very grim. Even if you return the core (CPU) to stock speeds, the damage is already done, and could even still progress at stock voltage. Overclocking is a great way to improve hardware, but it can be dangerous and has its risks... only attempt to do so if you have a strong background in computer science.
Guy 1: I overclocked my Northwood core from 2.6 to 3.6 GHz, but I had to increase the voltage for stability.
Guy 2: How did that work out for you?
Guy 1: Everything was fine and dandy until the computer hard-locked.
Guy 2: Sounds like SNDS...

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.
