cyberwhore
Typically an unattractive female who acts like a total whore on snapchat/text, but can't get any action in real life. She is known for sending nudes, sexting, etc. and gets hit up only when a guy is extremely horny and desperate for something to jerk off to. She is typically a last resort, but a go-to, because she will send nudes to whoever asks. What makes her a CYBER whore however, is that none of the guys she communicates with online want anything to do with her in person, and will deny having any sexual relations with her, because they feel ashamed for stooping so low. A cyberwhore has a tendency to have little to no friends, and constantly be in a state of sexual frustration due to the inconsistency of guys she attracts online vs in person. A cyberwhore also has very low self-esteem, thus being why she acts the way she does.
Guy 1: Lmao bro is it true you asked Delaney for nudes last night?
Guy 2: WTF! Uhhh... of course not, she's nasty! who told you that?!
Guy 1: She's telling everyone! Man, what a cyberwhore!
Guy 2: WTF! Uhhh... of course not, she's nasty! who told you that?!

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.
