major label
Term used in connection with any of the five record companies that dominate the music industry.
Sony, Universal, BMG, EMI and Warner (and their innumerable subsidiaries) account for over 90% of the music sold in the United States and up to 80% globally. The majors are typically characterised as greedy, cynical, bandwagon-jumping and litigious (see also RIAA).
Not all artists signing to major labels suck, but the majority do fall into one of two categories:
(1) those plucked from obscurity, who are given some songs, handed over to a stylist and aggressively marketed
(2) those with previous careers and original material, who agree to remove all traces of innovation from their music, are rejected by their old fans as sellouts and are aggressively marketed.
Regardless of their popularity, most will be financially crippled by the label's dubious accounting and will be dropped the moment sales start to falter.

Major League Obeseball
The so-called "professional sport" - but really just a lucrative hobby - that does not require any sort of physical fitness. Many who play are known to cheat by juicing, which leads to the ridiculous paradox of overly muscular guys covered by a layer of blubber. Often these players' heads are disproportionately big, rendering bobbleheads rather lifelike. Some defend the hobby by pointing out its cerebral strategic aspects and comparing it to chess, ignoring of course that unlike obeseball, chess players are often in decent shape and don't require other people to decide their every move.
Man I'm counting down the days to the end of Major League Obeseball so SportsCenter can concentrate on real sports.

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.
