Inbox Rotting
When one friends someone and instead of hitting accept or ignore, they press 'pending' and thus you are stuck in facebook limbo. The person can see updates of you on their news feed & vice versa, on profile picture updates, likes, friends, and posts to current friends. This can also be utilized by people who are bitches and instead of accepting a re-friend after a falling out, they leave the whole situation up in the air- in a creepy way where they can keep tabs on you.
You literally have your friend request left rotting in their inbox.

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.
