Yes, it seems to be like 'nerd' but without the negative connotation.   Sort of like calling a smart person a 'professor' even if they're not a teacher at a university.  I just found it humorous that Boffin meant anything at all, as it was chosen strictly for alliterative purposes!

From what I've read, it was considered a term of respect during World War Two for scientists and code breakers. I could not find any insult attached to its use.

Oh, you're right. Coffee would probably just end up being spilled because Mortier is old.

Tag Mortier and V'kee.

"Boffin" was a hobbit family name in The Hobbit, so it was more appropriate than you knew. :D The origin seems to be unknown, it was possibly originally derogatory but became generally positive through WW2.

The new fuzzy Ian doesn't get pissed off any more. You can call him Lieutenant Unicorn.

Already? No follow-up catastrophe?
My Skype doesn't like to work everyday, so if anyone needs me there I'll be in contact, um, eventually.

Nope, just one catastrophe for this mission... I know we usually have a minimum of 3 catastrophes. lol.
