In this column by the Odoriferous Orator, Dartoid gives his spin on the new Sigma darts by Unicorn, and tries to get to the point of the matter.

From the column:

For almost ten years I had an office in England – Crowborough, East Sussex to be exact, just down the long and winding road from Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent.? So I know a little bit about conkers, tea, tiki masala and all other things British.

My knowledge of such matters established, it was a bit of a surprise a couple of months back to learn that some bloke at Unicorn (http://www.unicorn-darts.com) was boffing himself.? I kid you not.? Some fellow at the Big Name in Darts was, and still is, calling himself the Uniboffin.

Blimey!

Picture this scene.? It actually happened much as I relate, about ten years ago.? I was sittin’ in a pub called the Cross on the main drag in Crowborough, just before the Winston Manor Hotel burned down, havin’ an ale and talkin’ to my friend Tommy Molina.? “So Tommy,” I say, “How’d it go with that girl your were chattin’ up the other night?”? “Ah,” says Tommy with a wink, “Nice bird – boffed her good I did.”

See my point?

Why would anyone want to boff himself?

And why would Unicorn announce such a thing to the world?

It turns out that there is a completely logical answer.? In British-speak, boffin can be used as both a noun and a verb.? A boffin is a kind of mad scientist.? However, if a boffin – spectacles, white coat and all – were to go into the Cross and get lucky, well, the boffin might boff…

But I digress…
