pewwy
A person who tries hard, but constantly fails. This person tries his best and copes with the rest. However, the "rest" usually involves failure, disaster, and incompetence. Nevertheless, a pewwy keeps on keepin' on and is always eager and supportive supportive. A pewwy is the quintessential supportive, hard working teammate. Unfortunately, he just sucks at playing.
Example1:
announcer1: michelle swings hard and hits a huge pop up to the second basemen. she sprints around the bases and makes hustles all the way to third before the ball is caught. why is she doing that?
announcer2: she is just being a pewwy!
Example2:
Jordan: mikey is playing laser tag. He is army-crawling, hurdling barriers, and diving away from sentinels. However he keeps getting shot and is in last place.
Tuck: haha what a perry! poor guy.

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.
