Gorehound
A fan of horror films. Gorehounds are typically drawn to slasher movies centered on young people of dubious moral quality who attempt to escape a menacing villain with stabbing or hacking weapons. If the villain is animalistic, he will kill or consume his victims without instruments. The gorehound is allured by the spectacle of violence and the desperate escape of the remaining characters confronted with a hopeless situation.
The films enjoyed by the Gorehound are usually considered medicore by critics. This mediocrity may stem from an absence of character background, unconvincing special effects, gratuitous nudity, and perhaps most famously, outrageously poor judgment by surviving characters. Such characters will often attempt to escape an eerie set of circumstances by confining themselves to an unfamiliar rural residence, often owned by the villain, seeming to fear exposure to nature more than murder.
"Gorehound" is considered by some to be a misnomer, because such fans may value a film's violence only as precondition to the euphoria of escape. Under this analysis, gore is necessary but incidental to the higher pleasure of freedom from one's pursuer.
Gorehounds are often the subject of feminist critique, since their preferred films usually involve extreme violence against women. Some, however, have noted that films preferred by the gorehound almost invariably center on a heroine who triumphs over enormous physical and mental hardship and ultimately bests her attacker. In this sense, the gorehound may be celebrating female cunning and courage.

Gorehogs are 50% bald and in the back of the show; with boots and a long sleeve Death/grind or Gore metal shirt. Not some racist or Neo-Nazi; but over the years that’s how the look has taken shape. Most of which are in a band, and very helpful for spreading and supporting other bands in the Gore genre underground (Worldwide). Wearing a black long sleeve with some graphic artwork on front; with a camouflage pants, is the typical dress code.

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.
