Idiom
A term used by people who are tired of calling n00bs "idiots".
The individual calls a n00b an "idiom" so that they'll get even more confused and react in a more n00bish way. It will confuse them until the n00b actually looks up the word in a dictionary to find the definition. Otherwise, they'll think idiom is another word for idiot.

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.
