Turnstilin'
When, during a very enjoyable night of drinking with your friends, one friend decides at the last minute to go home, for example by hanging back and not walk through the turnstile at a train stop after all the other members of the party have gone through on the way to the next bar, thus decreasing morale of group.
Pat: Sandeep, why are you going home early? We're so close to the next bar.
Sandeep: I'm just tired...
Pat: Sandeep, you turnstilin' son of a bitch!!!!
-Pat jumps over turnstile and pushes Sandeep through the turnstile, thereby negating his aforementioned turnstilin' behavior.

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.
