Crazy-Hot Scale
The Crazy/Hot Scale was made popular by How I Met Your Mothers' Barney Stinson. For those of you not familiar with the show, it is a diagram for relating the craziness, c, of a given girl, to her hotness h. Ratings are based off the standard 1-10 scale (10 being the hottest/craziest and 1 being the least attractive/most sane). For example, one of the most recent girls I hooked up with would be about a (5,8) - so 5/10 crazy, 8/10 hot.
The Line of Equality
As Barney explains, "a girl is allowed to be crazy, as long as she is equally hot". Let's make h a function of c. So, as c increases, h(c) must also increase at an equal or greater rate. I will call this line, the line of equality.
h(c) = c, c = craziness of a given girl
For a girl to be considered hook-up material, her (c,h(c)) must lie above the line, and thus, h(c) ≥ c.
To illustrate, a girl who is a 7 on the crazy scale must be at least a 7 on the hotness scale as well. If she's a (7,8) - great! You're getting more bang for your buck (per se). However, if she's a (7,6) - get out of there. Quick.

Bill: Hey I saw you talking to Beth at the bar last night. Did you slam that?
Jeff: No way - After she started talking about her hair collection I realized she was a 10/9 on the Crazy-Hot Scale and blew.
Bill: Damn! It is hard to lose a 9 like that!

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.
