drive by check-in
when you 'check in' using the Facebook Places facility, but you are not actually at the place you checked into.
This could be to fool people into thinking you are in one location when you are in fact in a different location close by.
You might also do this to appear cool on facebook by checking into exciting sounding locations. It allows a person to 'check into' a bar or club near where they live, when they are in fact at home in bed.
You might also check in whilst in a car.... driving past a location. hence the definition of drive by check-in

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.
