Quétaine
Deragotary term mainly used in the french province of Québec, in Canada. It refers to someone who often acts in silliness regarding some aspects of their life, but the « quétainerie » is a phenomenon to be observed, for the quétaine does not know he is one. A quétaine is someone who applies diverse kitsch manners that varies from dressing, socializing, absence of bravery, compliance to authority, table manners, etc. Quétaine more often refers to someone who is weak and is worth of rejection.
Though the etymology has some confusing history, it appears that the majority of linguists agrees on one main explanation. Quétaine derives from the family name Keaton. The Keatons were rich anglo saxons that established themselves in poorer rural french Québec. Their weird manners were noted and laughed upon (weakness to winter, digust towards dirt, clueless in real hardworking jobs). The name Keaton then was turned into a more acceptable form in the québécois language, thus the spelling Quétaine.

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.
