Omg....can you believe what kinda of bornhoftist person he is?..he says he's "confused" but yet he knows why he can't get girls....
1980s in juvenile usage, a person who would rather eat bread than have sex.
From a 1980's advertising campaign for bread in Australia: A man turns down an evening with a buxom wench to repair with a slice of multigrain. Voiceover: "Man does not live by bread alone but with Bornhoffen he comes close."
This was then contracted into "B'hoffen" with aspirated first syllable and finally just "boffin" to describe nerds.
