Catch you on the flip flop
A phrase coined during the 1960s and 1970s trucker Citizen's Band (CB) culture. It literally means "I'll contact you on the return trip." If two long-haul truck drivers regularly make opposing trips, their path will eventually meet on each iteration of the trip. This term is virtually interchangeable with catch you on the flip side.
...we're gonna back on out of here. So, keep the bugs off your glass and the bears off your tail. We'll catch you on the flip flop. This here's the Rubber Duck on the side. We gone. Bye bye.

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.
