In light of the death of Peter Higgs, let me without further ado plant a stake on the internet: a bosun is the abbreviation of a boatswain and is a senior naval rating, whereas a boson is a sub-atomic particle whose spin quantum number has an integer value.
Peter Higgs invented only one of these. [ETA: yes of course I meant discovered. Muphry's Law!]
