Rubenesque
A term for a woman with a body similar to the women painted by the artist Peter Paul Rubens. His painting called "Judgment of Paris" is a good example. The word has nothing at all to do with Ruben Studdard as it was in use long before American Idol existed. The women of Rubens' paintings typically had hourglass figures and were chubby, but not obese.

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.
