Denotes a lad or set of lads that basically "sucked up", "arse licked" etc any or all of the most good looking girls in the school. The contributor says it was used because they said they used to serenade the girls with their lutes like Minstrels used to do in Tudor society. They used to say f-ing minstrels or lute players (often spelled as loot). Really they were just jealous of one set of popular lads, but it was funny. He also said his best mate was one of those lads and he still sometimes call him it today if he is chatting up a bird.
(n.) Activities done by high level players.
hopoate spike (the ...), hopoate (doing a ...)
Sliding a digit into someones anus. Derived from John Hopoate who was an Australian rugby League player until March 2001 when he was caught onfield on camera ramming his thumb up an opponents back passage. His defence for this was that it was a legitimate means of distracting the opponent, but after being roundly criticised on and off the field, and having become a total laughing stock, he decided to 'retire' from the game. There are now rumours that he will join up with "International Wrestling Australia", using the 'Hopoate Spike" as his trademark attack... As you'll imagine, this episode gave rise to many 'jokes' and a small selection are printed below: His old team are really pleased he was sacked, Hopoate could have rectum. As much as things change they stay the same: Hopoate was in the shit then he was caught, and now he's still in the shit. If the police get involved, Hopoate could end up in the pokey. John Hopoate has been nominated for an Oscar for his lead role in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Finger". Anagram of Hopoate: Poo Hate! Rugby league may be a Stone Age game, but it was first to enter the digital age. Hopoate has changed his name to Stop-a-farte. Which finger did he use? His ring finger. How do the judiciary decide on this punishment? Is there a 'rule of thumb'? The coach claimed the charge was a bum rap! A view from a fan: "This leaves a foul taste in my mouth!". Hopoate's defence lines: ..... they were giving me cheek. ..... honest, he was just lying prostate on the ground. ..... I saw an opening and went for it. ..... the coach told me to penetrate their defences. He must be getting married. I heard Hopoate was checking out some rings on Saturday night. What's the difference between a bowling ball and a north Queensland cowboy? You can stick 3 fingers in a bowling ball. Coach Terry Lamb's comment: "I think the criticism levelled at Hoppa is totally unfounded, he is being fingered for a crime he did not commit" What's the bet Terry Lamb will tell him to pull his finger out! John Hopoate: Public Enema Number 1 News Extra: Hopoate to star in Lord of the Rings!! "Players don't report cases like Hopoate's because they'd be the butt of all jokes" - Roy Masters (former West's Coach) Is the whole thing a three-ring circus? How come Field and McGuinness got six months for cocaine but Hopoate only got 12 weeks for crack? Do The Hopoate ============== You put your left thumb in You pull your left thumb out You put your left thumb in And you shake it all about You do the Hopoate and you turn the game around And that's what it's all about. The John Hopoate Virus: your computer will insert random digits - often where they are quite unwanted.
A small group of people would decide upon a certain game, but realise that they didn't have a large enough group to play it. Someone would say 'Shall we do Who-wants-to-play?' and we would link arms, and march self-importantly around the playground chanting 'Who-wants-to-play (pause) Brit-ish-Bull-dog?' (or whatever). The idea was that whoever else wanted to play would link arms with one end of the row and join in the chanting and walking around, until enough players were recruited. Of course, the usual outcome was that you would spend the whole of playtime recruiting players, and have no time for the actual game at all. We would often be rather selective about who we actually wanted to play with us, so would add various disclaimers at the end of the chant - 'Who-wants-to-play... Char-lies Ang-els... on-ly girls... from Mrs Hopkin's class... ov-er six... and no pik-eys...'

These words were used interchangeably as the term meaning "home base" when playing tag. When the game of tag began, someone would specify what Gool or Glue would be, and that object would be the home base where one could be "safe" from being tagged. Similar to 'Base'. Alternative viewpoint: I grew up in New England in the late 70's and the term "gools" was completely ubiquitous as a singular noun. "Glue" was never used to mean "home base", but if "gool" was used, I never noticed. It's possible that "gools" evolved from "gool" through the expression "No gool(s) sticking!" (ie. don't hover around home base because it doesn't give other players a fair chance of reaching it.) Even as an adult, if talk of childhood games ever comes up with peers who grew up in different parts of New England, there's a nostalgic spark if "gools" (and notably not "gool") is mentioned as we all immediately recognize the word and at the same time note what a silly word it really is. (ed: which opened the door as usual for additional input and Arrigo sent the following in!) I am happy to see that the word gools appears in your dictionary. It was the first thing I thought of when I found out about your site, and, sure enough, there it was. It is erroneous to say it originated in the 1970s because the term was around the Phineas Bates elementary school in Roslindale Massachusetts (a neighborhood in Boston) in the 1940s when I was a kid. It was used mostly in the game of "hide and go se ek" similarly to the way in which the dictionary says it was used for "tag". The term "gools sticker" (pronounced "goolsticka") was also used. I have always wondered about its etymology. One of my theories is that it was a corrupt ion of the word "goal" that somehow took on an "s" at the end, perhaps as stated in the dictionary. Another possibility is a much older root from the archaic heraldic word "gules", which means "red" and is derived from the Latin gul a, meaning "throat". Anyhow, if a kid who was hiding touched the gools before the seeker saw him or her and got back to the gools first, then he/she would cry out "my gools 1-2- 3".
Usually used in a time of disgusted disbelief, "Shit-Christ Steve, what were you thinking?" or "Shit-Christ, what am I supposed to do now?" Originally used by a legendary college football coach in Minnesota, USA, when his players would make mistakes.

Not really 'slang' but interesting nevertheless - quoted verbatim: "Not exactly a word, this was the French textbook loads of people learnt French from. There were a number of things we found amusing such as the guy who always asked "Est-ce-qu'il-y-a un Banc pres d'ici?" in a voice so deep it made Mr Bean sound like Joe Pasquali. The reason for this we realised must be due to the fact that the Tricolore audio cassetes were recorded by two blokes, and since any women's voices were just a bloke talking in a high-pitched voice, they had to make the blokes obvious, and consequently they all had deep voices. This was not helped by the fact that our French tapes were all played on the standard "School-Issue" Coomber cassete player with a big black woven-grille front and a wooden back with holes drilled in it. These cassete players invariably resonated erratically no matter what kind of sound was being played. Some common Tricolore Phrases: • "Comment????" • "Oui, Madamme, il-y-a une Banc la-bas." • "Numero UN!!!, Sex-ion A!!!! EX-OM-PLUH!!!" Of course, all our books dated back to the seventies so when I was at school in the mid nineties you couldn't see the photos due to the "modifications" that other students had made over the years. I remember the Woman-With-The-Petrol-Pump photo was the most graffitied.
