        If you see the word “boffin” in your article, you’re probably reading The Register.

          It also sounds like a Dickensian surname for a smart person.

            “Boffin” sounds like an insult, not something you’d call a smart person. Someone who’s easily baffled.

            Also reminds me of a Zappa song, “Broken Hearts are for Assholes”, in which he speaks of a Sir Richard Pumpaloaf, a demented bread boffer.

      And it would have worked, if not for those meddling boffins!

      Neutral mob with low HP. Won’t attack unless provoked. Not a threat except in large numbers.
