Boffin is the new word of the day

Boffin is the new word of the day.

For those of you who live on the other side of the pond this is a giveaway.  For those of you who haven’t you may have a little difficulty in this word.  I can tell you it is British (slang) hint, hint.  But if you don’t know it by site all the hints I could think of will not suffice.  So the meaning of (baf’in) is a research scientist.  You know like the kind that has nothing to do with their time except to mess around with the wording of the contracts and expect us to understand them.  Join us tomorrow for another journey into the wonderful world of Wordsmith.

Haven't seen, heard or had defined that word!  What a weird thing to call a scientist!  Defintely slang, for sure!

Good morning James,

At times we could be called a "boffin."

Make yourself a great day.

James, I am a student of real estate contracts and language, but a boffin or research scientist, I think not! Enjoy your day!

James,

In my next life, maybe I'll come back as a boffin making discoveries for cures such as cancer.

Great new word of the day!!!
