In the United Kingdom the phrase "Boff" is used to describe someone who is smart and never misbehaves in school. This suits his personality as he claims to be the best Junior Cadet there is and there is no denying it and no need to prove that he is the best, thus making him a "Boff".
Boff is one of the few dwarves that did not receive a graphical update when "Birthright of the Dwarves" came out. His model was eventually updated, however, his chathead remains the same.
