Sorry that happened to you
Hym "That's what I said to him when he said he got raped in prison. 'Sorry that happened to you.' Now, before you get man ladies, that's probably what I would say to you if you confessed to getting raped to me. Seems like the natural response. What was his name? 🤔 I don't remember. Did he tell you he tried to molest me, slapped me in the dick, and then threw up on the couch and blamed it on me? Gay dude love me, what can I said. They aren't selecting based on fat-cock so they are usually down to bang. Not gay though, so, I'm not really getting a lot of mileage out of it."

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.
