Shooting in the tent
Infighting
1)When you and/or someone else Criticize a friend or a Political Party, or a News organization that lean towards your political affiliation, but don't agree on specifics and practicalities that fit your niche of that political affiliation.
In other words, you have the same broad worldview of how things should be but you disagree on the specifics.
2)One might blame another for "shooting in the tent" when he criticizes and chastises members of his own political party while the opponents of said party can gain power on the back of "Infighting".
The metaphor is for a guy that has a guy in a tent and has beef with one person and tries to shoot him while endangering his friends as well.

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.
