"Boffo" is new to me. Can you give hints about context, e.g. domain or region?

"All the same, Reinfeldt's novelty alone won't elect him. There are real problems in beating the Social Democrats. Sweden's second-quarter growth rate was 5.6 percent, boffo by European standards. Unemployment, officially at 6 percent, is far better than in Germany or France."

Is this AmE then - Lou? It's new to me as well. It sounds Australian.

I vaguely remember "boffo" from the 50's and 60's associate with the magazine "Variety", the bible of the American entertainment business. It was a term usually found in headlines but never never never used by normal human beings. I googled Variety AND boffo and ... for once I was right. If used in DACCO it should come with a very strong warning not to use it. For recognition purposes only
