Ginked
Ginked is normally used to describe the condition of a Ginker car (see Ginker) in East Brunswick, NJ in the 70s. The first thing any self respecting Ginker did to his car upon newly acquiring it is to gink it. This usually entails making the exhaust as load as possible, jacking up the rear end to install the largest tires that will fit or just fit with some rubbing of the fenders. As the stages progress other Ginker items are added in the effort to make the car faster. Chrome was always a favorite, even if it has no effect on overall performance. Chrome valve covers, diff cover and alternator were common. Primer spots or entire primer paint jobs typically adorned the bodies of the Ginker car. Most Ginkers preferred to gink a high performance car like a Mustang or a Camaro, but a true Ginker could gink just about anything if the funds were not available to get the most desirable car. Vegas, Pintos, Gremlins and even 4 door Mom cars could be seen ginked and parked in the Ginker parking
area along the back of the East Brunswick High school. This parking area was from the back gate along the road and to the side parking lot near the auto shop classroom. Some say the term Ginker actually came from the sound their cars made as they drove over the many speed bumps placed on the road that encircled the school. Most Ginker cars had traction bars mount to the rear axle and these bars would slap the underside of the car when big bumps were hit making a sort of gink gink noise.

Sakata Gintoki
noun (from the manga/anime "Gintama" by Hideaki Sorachi); the main protagonist of the story. He is the founder of the Yorozuya (a freelance group) and is also a highly skilled samurai. In Yorozuya, he works with Shimura Shinpachi and Kagura. He enjoys eating sweet things and picking his nose in public. Other than the name 'Gintoki', he is also commonly referred to as Gin-chan or Gin-san. He has silver hair and a natural perm. He wears a black shirt and pants with red linings, and a white yukata (a summer kimono) with light blue patterns worn sloppily, draped over his left shoulder. His weapon of choice is usually a bokutou, a wooden katana, engraved with the word Touyako (or literally Lake Toya) on the handle, carried by his waist. During Joui wars, he was known as the legendary Shiroyasha (a.k.a. White Demon). According to Sorachi, Gintoki's name was based from Sakata Kintoki, also known as Kintaro, from a famous folk tale set in the Heian Perod. He does not like killing, willing to adapt his bushido to other people or the current times in order to avoid needless loss of lives which is the most probable reason for his carrying a wooden sword and not a real version. He is the target of the masochistic ninja stalker Sarutobi Ayame and he has a crush on the weather-girl Ketsuno Ana.
Sakata Gintoki's quote: "The country? The skies? You can have them. I'm busy just protecting what's right in front of me. I don't know what'll happen to me in the future, but if something has fallen at my feet, then the least I can do is pick it up."

Ginosaji
Popularized in the 2008 viral video "The Horribly Slow Murderer With the Incredibly Inefficient Weapon" by director Richard Gale, the Ginosaji is an unstopping and immortal spoon wielding demon who kills his victims, in this film Jack Cucchiaio slowly by slowly, relentlessly hitting them with a metal spoon. Slow slowly, in fact, that the "murder" takes the rest of the victim's life. It is important to note that Jack's family name is Italian for "spoon" and Ginosaji literally means "silver spoon" in Japanese.
Some theorize that there is, in fact, no "Ginosaji," and the film is a clever and humorous commentary on learning to accept aging and eventual death. The protagonist, whose family name is "spoon", is being attacked by an assailant whose name is also "spoon". He may be in fact trying to fight his own aging and mortality, so engrossed with battling his own inevitable aging and death that he fails to live "in the moment" and instead of living, slowly "dies to death" throughout his life. Thus the "Ginosaji" is actually "created" by an individuals own denial of their mortality and insistance on fighting death rather than embracing life.

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.
