terrordome
This was a song by Public Enemy on the Fear of a Black Planet CD. And also on the movie CB4. My basic understanding of this term is something that you are trapped in like a hell on earth that you can not get out of. Like a own personal hell.

terrordome
The song "Welcome to the Terrordome" is featured on Public Enemy's 1990 album, "Fear of a Black Planet." In the song, the "terrordome" serves as a metaphor for the harsh realities faced by black people in America, particularly those living in urban environments, in which escape is virtually impossible. The term can be interpreted as a representation of the struggle against systemic racism, oppression, and inequality. Chuck D, as the lead vocalist of Public Enemy, uses the phrase to draw attention to these issues and encourage listeners to confront them.
"'Welcome to the Terrordome, what does it mean?' It means the 1990s are coming. If we as a people do the right thing we’ll be alright. If we do the wrong thing, the black situation is out of here at the end of the decade. The terrordome is the 1990’s. I got it from this article called 'Welcome to the Terrordome’ that was in Melody Maker magazine. I just changed it to Terrordome, the house of the 90s.” — Chuck D in Spin Magazine
The word may be influenced by "thunderdome," which is a term popularized by the 1985 post-apocalyptic action film "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome." In the movie, the Thunderdome is an arena where disputes are settled through gladiatorial combat, where spectators watch and encourage the participants to kill each other.

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.
