Mochinga
In the English-speaking expat community in Argentina, the word is often used as a substitute for "big kahuna", "grand sachem", "head honcho", or "quarterback", meaning the person who knows where the coffee machine is, knows who to call, and generally gets things done. The term is probably related to Raúl "Muchinga" Escalante, the boss of Chacarita Juniors' barra brava, one of the fiercest groups of the violent barra era that ran from the late 1970s into the early 2000s. Raúl's nickname was "Muchinga", although many people pronounced it "Mochinga", and that version appears to have spread more widely over time. Chacarita was, and still is, a relatively small football club by Argentine standards, yet it produced one of the country's most feared barra bravas, reportedly backed by powerful union boss Luis Barrionuevo. Muchinga himself was formally indicted on drug trafficking charges and was widely regarded as the dominant figure in the northeastern sector of Greater Buenos Aires. Whether the etymology is correct or not, many locals believe the word evolved from his nickname and eventually became slang for the guy who runs the show, the fixer, the go-to person, the one who really knows how things work.

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.
