This term is used in Japanese lesbian S&M culture to refer to the "dom" in a relationship. The word was formed as a "Japlish" contraction for "a Japanese captain".

The term has been expanded to mean the domineering head of any Japanese-run organization; especially when used to describe an organization peopled by non-Japanese who are subservient to a Japanese boss. Usually expressed sarcastically as a reference to "my Japitan".

The term was purportedly first applied to Akiko Toida an infamous female pervert.
Yes, my Japitan, I will do as you have said immediately.

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.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
