slow
A relatively slow learner, who while struggling to keep up with everyday tasks, cultural evolution, or academics, is in a temporary (and usually domain limited) state of high reason, capable of demonstrating some set of the complex products of creativity and/or analytical thought. An effect due to some combination of factors such as intrinsic motivation, autistic spectrum disorders, emotional intelligence, mental specialization, and the powers of chance.
SLOW
Originated on the GameArena messageboards (www.gamearena.com.au) and was short for "Secret Language Of Women". It started off as a thread in which a widely distributed email containing satire of what women mean when they say certain phrases was posted.
The thread has spawned duplicates after each subsequent thread was locked and is today a haven for Telstra employees to converse as it's not blocked by their company firewall.
The thread titles of SLOW vary and usually involve a pun or something that incorporates the word "slow".

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.
