TANKAGE
tonnage law
"The vessel, or vehicle with the greatest gross tonnage has the right of way."
Based in part on the navigation rule about ships restricted in ability to maneuver and how other ships need to stay away. And the reality of if there is a collision between two or more vehicles the smaller vehicles will take more damage than the larger vehicles. And that greater amount of damage is shared with the occupants of the smaller vehicle.

Smart car v. F-350 crew cab pickup. Pickup driver is shook up and possibly bruised from the airbag, they can walk away. Smart car driver is in the ambulance on the way to the hospital with multiple fractures and or internal injuries. Moral of the story, violating the tonnage law will end up in pain & suffering. Even though you may have the right to be where you are, the right will not protect you from harm.

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.
