visual novel
A Japanese novel read as an game-like application on a computer. A term to distinguish itself from a "Game" because there is usually no gameplay involved, and the only interaction that the player can make with the game is making certain choices at specific points in the game that decides which branch of the storyline that the player will take.
Also distinguishes itself from an "eroge" or "hentai game" in that sex is usually the main appeal of a hentai game, but plot and story is the main appeal of a visual novel.
Anime-styled drawing most of the time. Some may contain sex scenes, and some are emotionally charged stories targeted at older audiences with a lot of plot and depth. The pros are that it usually comes with pictures, sounds effects, music and voices which gives one a richer experience than reading a plain novel. The cons are that it requires a lot of clicking of the mouse to scroll through the novel text.

twitter novel
Based on the Japanese form of keitai shosetsu, or "cell phone novel", a twitter novel is the newest form of serialised fiction on the interwebs. The 140-character limited format and method of reading bottom-to-top offers great opportunities for experimentation within the novel form and makes the reader pay more attention than they would with straight-ahead dead tree fiction.

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.
