Khiabani effect
When you paradoxically refer the current time, usually shortly after 12:00 am to "tomorrow", as it is still night and your mindset for tomorrow is the next morning but conventionally the day has changed, so you end up in a ridiculous, paradoxical statement like "It's tomorrow now"!
Named after Javad Khiabani, an Iranian TV soccer commentator who made the same statement in a match after 12:00 pm.

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.
