Drury Lane ague was th and th century slang for venereal disease.
Originally from Scots but also in Geordie. Possibly derived from 'loanin' which might have had to do with an old system for loaning plots of land, or perhaps "a sheltered place where cows were gathered for milking". I think we need some further input on this before we can be definitive.. To the contributor it meant a shortcut that was usually grassy and covered in dog poo, often an old railway line or grassy lane that you'd maybe use as a shortcut to get to school. (ed: on the other hand... Burno tells us that in Georgie, 'Lonnen' just means a lane. Seems there's a road called 'Lonnen' in a town local to him... but he didn't say which one)
(Shoot) a declivity. A narrow, inclined street or lane
a narrow path or lane
A post-pubescent (usu.) behind the bike sheds favourite pastime. Involves inserting your finger(s) into the genitalia of female (if willing). Act often followed by the "fingerer" running over to his mates and inviting them to "Smell my fingers !!" as proof of having done the dirty deed. Cryptic message from Jacqui, who suggests under Finger/Fish fingers, we could add the explanation of Finger Pie, as found in The Beatles' Penny Lane, and blithely sung by many people unaware of the "fingering" meaning to this Liverpool piece of slang. Would someone like to explain what she means please?

Expression of surprise/disbelief. Probably a "concealment" of the Cockney expression "Gawd (God) Almighty". Possibly (but doubtful) also the name of the first British footballer to land a contract for more than a million pounds. John R. writes: I agree with everything about your entry except the provenance of the word. I know a lot about football and the 1st million puond player was Trevor Francis, I have never heard of a player by the name of Gordon Bennet. Besides which, it is a very old expression pre-dating anything like that. This was sent in by Matthew Hill: I remember using the phrase Gordon Bennett quite often in the seventies and eighties whilst I was at school. My mother still uses it occassionally, so I can only surmise that it was a character who was famous at the time. However, there is a Gordon Bennett Memorial Hall in Thurcroft, South Yorkshire (my school was in Dinnington, South Yorkshire) which was built in the mid-eighties. Who it is named after I do not know, but it may provide another launch-pad for further research! (ed: So we still don't know who Gordon Bennett was. Has anyone got any more ideas where the expression came from - or why it originated?)
