v masturbate. wanker n one who masturbates. Quite a rude word in the U.K. - perhaps one notch worse than “fuckwit” on the international offensiveness scale I’ve just invented. Interesting, therefore, that Adam Clayton of U2 managed to get away with using it in a Simpsons episode and that Phil Collins managed to use it in his 1984 Miami Vice cameo.
Anyone who didn't listen to mod, punk or new wave. They were "rockers" or "greasers. but worse, they were rockers that had become so "greasy" they slid! Contributor thinks they could have lifted the word from the film version of Quadraphinia.
Not exactly slang but had to add it for the comment - which is passed on verbatim: "Usually seen when a fat teacher wore trousers showing off a bulge above her stench trench, often made worse by a tight belt. "Mrs Russell's mons is bowfing".
In Australia, when we were kids, and most people had tin/iron roofs, we used to throw a rock on the roof, and run like hell!! Used to make a helluva noise, especially on a clear night. It was worse if you were inside the house...a good throw meant the rock would clatter down the roof, until it reached the gutter, or fell over the edge. (ed: Submitted by 'Granny' in BP Userforum - thanks Granny)
This is unusual. A biggie is what a child calls his poo! Hence the reason Wendy's Hamburgers has never really taken off in England - who would buy "biggie fries"? Yuck - I'm sure you wouldn't buy poo fries! The other meaning of Biggie is erection. It just gets worse!
Worse is Bristol slang for 'where have you'. Worse is Bristol slang for 'where has it'.
Euphamism for 'cow' - as if one was needed! Introduced by the Alf Garnett (Warren Mitchell) character in the 1960's sitcom "For better or worse", as a less offensive way of insulting his wife Else (Dandy Nicholls). From the classic days of British comedy.
Worse bin? Is Bristol slang for 'where have you been?'
– Well, of course, it’s an awful affliction that used to bedevil buccaneers in days gone by; that’s one reason there was lime juice added to the rum in the water, making grog. So calling someone a “scurvy bilge rat†is even worse than calling him a “bilge rat.â€
v. to bend a wheel over on itself, in the shape of a taco. "I taco'd my wheel, and it cost me a hundred bucks." Worse than a potato chip.
Toilet (originally outside but now any): e.g. the classic "Aussie curse", i.e. "may your chooks turn into emus and kick your dunny down!" There is an ongoing theme in Austrlain urban mythology about the redback spider that hides under the toilet seat and leaps out to bite yer bum (or worse) when you go to satisfy natures urges.. In fact this is based on reality in 'the old days' few homes had indoor plumbing and most used outdoor dunny's a la Shrek (basically just holes in the ground with an improvised seat over it. Redback spiders like dark moist conditions which the dunny provided, and the crap attracted flies which of course was an ideal food supply. Therefore the old style dunny was an ideal place for these things to live. You won't find them indoors often though so using the loo in Australia isn't often a dangerous experience - often.
Similar to a "gippo" or a "piker", but far, far worse. A pov is easily recognised by a home-done hair cut, supermarket trainers, an ear stud at the age of eight and a permanent smell such as that of mushy peas, cheese or even urine. (ed: a girl matching most of this description used to work with me on an ice cream van I once had - but she didn't smell that bad and was a really, really, really nice girl and I loved her heaps!! I wonder where she is now?)
A time of abject poverty for masses of citizens of the UK despite billions of dollars flowing into the Treasury coffers from oil revenue. Alternative view of this period passed on by Mike Blackburn: The 'Thatcher Years' were simply a period during which Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister of the UK. Your definition above is rubbish. This was the time of the housing boom in Britain, the yuppie arrived, there was a perceived turning away from any corporate mentality and an embracing of selfishness and personal gain. There was not widespread poverty, any more than there was during any other decade of the 20th century. The gap between rich and poor, however, did grow rather alarmingly. NOBODY refers to Thatcher Years as being a time of great poverty, aside, maybe, from misinformed Americans (you don't think Americans can be misinformed? Who voted for George W then?). (ed: I'm Welsh by birth and lived in Wales during most of the Thatcher Years. I know there was desperate poverty amongst many, many people - because I lived the horror myself and saw first hand the collapse of communities. There were streets I know where the only person working was employed by the DSS to administer payments to the others. The comment about the gap widening between rich and poor was spot on and resulted in Cardboard City - which was a community of hundreds of impoverished people who, had to live in boxes under Waterloo Station in the heart of 'affluent London'. And this was just one instance of overt degeneration of society under that government. Personally I think Mike was insulated somehow from the worst of Thatcherism. The larger part of the population suffered - badly!) Kevin sends in the following addition: 3 million unemployed officially but more like 6 million in reality. Miner's Strike; destruction of Britain's industrial base; top 10% never better off; bottom 10% never worse off. (ed: Anyone want to expand further - either side of the equation?) UK
Worse Than a Cat in a Roomful of Rockers
Someone who is really nervous.
Version 1: 'African Bum-Cleaner'. Kids in the playground would often ask each other "Would you rather be an ABC, or jump off the cliff". Anyone who didn't know what an ABC was, and gave that answer, would be 'hilariously' informed what an ABC was. The contributor said he couldn't, and still can't, see how being an ABC was worse than jumping off the cliff. Version 2: In Australia (and possibly the USA) ABC's can be Australian Born Chinese Version 3: ABC gum (already been chewed)
