bowl floater
Refers to a snobby, skinny female, with either a skinny, shapely, or large butt, who eats fruit and nuts for breakfast and salads for lunch and dinner, thus making her poop invariably float to the surface when she takes a dump.
Dude, she is such a snob. I took her for a steak dinner and she ordered just a salad. I put up with it, but later discovered after we did the deed, that the droppings she left in the toilet were translucent and floating like a stick in a lake. Wow! She was so snobby and tight I should have figured her for a bowl floater.

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.
