A Boffin is someone that actually works hard at school, gets good grades and enjoys the work as well.
The term is a form of bullying brought about by the inbred single brain-celled thickos that are jealous of intelligence.

A slang term for a smart, scientific type person, usually perceived as having thick glasses, a lab coat, working on complicated equipment. The term is often less than complimentary.
