Departy
A light-hearted event held after someone has departed, usually in the interest of bringing everyone's spirits up.
Because he knew funerals were miserable for everyone, this guy I know instead threw a departy for his friends. Rumor is that he rented a mansion for the purpose of using his corpse for a murder mystery. They say that whichever of his friends solves the mystery gets his inheritance. Now that's a departy!

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.”
