Originally someone who had one of the various pox's, e.g. chicken pox, cow pox, small pox etc. These produce pustules on the skin which can often result in 'pock marks, hence pocky, pocksy or poxy. From that, anyone who has some sort of skin problem would be called 'poxy'... and from that anyone thought to be crap or minging would get the nick as well! The contributor was musing on why the name has persisted for so long since smallpox has been eradicated for so long, but I think he's forgetting that 'the pox' was also a euphemism for any kind of venereal disease, or sexually transmitted infection. So, for as long as *they* persist, being called 'poxy' will be an insult!

Chief Engine Room Artificer. Spoken as "Chief ERA".
A test of one's machismo conducted by rubbing at the forearm with an eraser until the skin is rubbed raw. Called a "macho test" it was really more a test of one's stupidity in grade school (where my classmates were conducting it). What basically happened was one would take those basic pink school erasers, or the eraser from a pencil, and rub the forearm vigorously until multiple layers of skin and forearm hair were removed, leaving the area bald, shiny, and very very very raw. The fact that one could do this to themselves and endure it was supposed to be a testament to their machismo.
Erase is British slang for to murder.

Flatulence (act or result) - e.g. "Who woofered?"; "Did you woofer?"; Contributor wrote the following: This was used by my circle of friends for a very brief period in the 9th grade in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, a suburb about 30 km West of Toronto. We were a pretty straightlaced, upper middle class, but quite ethnically diverse bunch. My first contact, so to speak, with this word occurred when I met a bunch of other kids in the 9th grade (this is 1982, by the way) who had come from another public school. The use of the word more or less ran its course after six months or so, although, it has appeared sporadically on occasion since then, although more or less as a nostalgiac reference to that era.
Policeman - or woman (let's not be sexist in here eh?) Randy says: "I noticed you don't have any background on the word "pig" meaning the police. Based on hearsay from a friend, this is a code term used by truckers when they see a highway patrol or radar trap and wish to warn their fellow trucker(s) by r adio message, which can be tapped into by police. The example of context I heard was "There's a pig running beside the road". (ed: trouble is it doesn't really explain *where* it came from or how, or why) Keith says it came into common use around the time of the Vietnam War: Re origin of 'pig'. Like fuzz I think this originated during the hippy/anti-Vietnam protest era. The origin is fairly obvious - the most contemptible term anyone could think of for the police.
