Festering Hellhole
A Festering Hell Hole is basically any big city nowadays. This term is generally in reference to big cities, and not smaller regions. Basically this term means that the city in question is a hellhole (as the name implies). In other words the city is an absolute disgrace and is made up of crime, pollution, corruption, and basically any term in the realm of “Hell”.

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.
