DevilDog
The origin of the term is commonly associated with the Battle of Belleau Wood which took place in France during the First World War. The Germans were shocked at the ferocity of the attacking U.S. Marines (elements of the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments) and called them "Teufelhunde" which loosely translates to "Devil dog". After the battle, the French renamed it "Bois de la Brigade de Marine" ("Wood of the Marine Brigade").
1. Commonly used to address another Marine and has no real negative connotations (unless spoken sarcastically, at which point the speaker is likely to spring a rather nasty leak).
2. Used to address a Marine who's name is not known (before nametapes on the utility uniform became standard).

Devildoc
Term of endearment applied by US Marines to their platoon-level medical personnel based on "Devildog". Unlike the other services the Marine Corps does not have a medical field, so we get ours from the Navy. A Hospital Corpsman is assigned to the platoon and he eats, sleeps, shits, fights and sometimes dies with "his" Marines.
A Corpsman is probably the single most highly respected member of the US Navy to an infantryman because he chooses to be there instead of some soft-ass REMF job. We treat them like a mascot and fuck with them constantly; within the platoon he's harassed about his branch of service, uniform, buddies, car, parents, girlfriend (or lack thereof), haircut (or lack thereof) and any manner of other things you know will rile him up.
Corpsmen tend to be highly protective of their Marines and there are many accounts of "Doc" coming to the aid of a wounded Marine under heavy enemy fire. John "Doc" Bradley is one example, winning the Navy Cross a short time after helping to raise the flag on Iwo Jima (he's one of the gentlemen immortalized on the monument).
The "Devildoc" is poked, prodded and ridiculed within the platoon (all in good fun, mind you), but let someone from outside the unit say one negative word about him and they can stand the fuck by. Any Marine worth his salt will buy a Devildoc a drink at the drop of a hat whether he knows him or not.
Also used when you're trying to buddy up to the Corpsman in order to get something from him.

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.
