Chicagoan
A superhuman being that inhabits the wonderful city of Chicago. They can be found anywhere in Chicago, but how do you know if you've spotted an actual Chicagoan?
First, Chicagoans love or have some sort of pride in them for Chicago. Why would you bother being a Chicagoan if you didn't like Chicago?
Second, they're actually from Chicago. Always check to make sure that whoever tells you they're from Chicago isn't actually from Naperville or some other place/suburb that is an hour away from the Loop.
Third, they are very friendly but can also be tough. They will always be loyal to anything that holds their city dear, like the sports teams. There is currently an ongoing dispute between the Chicago Cubs and the White Sox. Pick your side wisely, because once you do, you can't go back.
Lastly, if you're a Chicagoan, you will be disturbed by the gif below. Why? Because there's ketchup on that hot dog! If you're not a Chicagoan, it may seem normal to put ketchup on a hot dog, but to a Chicagoan, it's not a good thing for them.
Overall, Chicagoans are wonderful, magical humans that should be treated with great respect. If you don't I'm going to have you sentence you to 3 years in Jay Cutler's household! So be nice to Chicagoans. ✨✨✨✨

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.
