Colbertistas
The group of followers of Stephen Colbert (host of The Colbert Report) who act on suggestions made during the show. The term was first used on the talk page of the Wikipedia entry for elephant, after Colbert called for the entry to be modified to reflect a (fictitious) three-fold increase in the elephant population. The Colbertistas are said to engage in Colberrorism.

Colbertity
The Law of Colbertity states that Steven Colbert is so awesome that if he were to become less awesome, he would only become more awesome, and if he were to become more awesome he would become less awesome. This is caused by the fact that Colbert is the highest point of awesome, there is no match to his level of "Awesomeness" and there is no exceeding his level due to the limitations of the English word "Awesome." If he were to become less awesome the peak of awesomeness would lower with Colbert.

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.
