Like a pool of cantaloupes
A very aggressive and bad phrase used to describe a not so good time or moment. It comes in many different sayings depending where you're at, other ways to put it are "like a tidal wave of cantaloupe", "an ocean of cantaloupe", "a stream of cantaloupe", and many more. Most commonly this phrase is used to describe an event and how you felt towards it, but it can also be managed to describe your overall mood in general.
The anti of this is "like a pool of melons", which is used to describe a good time or vibe. Both are commonly used in the same context, but feel free to get creative with your melon and cantaloupe water phrases!
The origins of this phrase are unknown, but it's rumored to have appeared in a small town when a man very upset at another ruined a stream by pouring a bunch of cantaloupes in it. This act of anger is what gave this phrase its negative nature and meaning. Most people prefer to stay on the melon side of things due to the more positive point of view, but it's okay to feel a bit of a cantaloupe stream every now and again too.

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.
