Slangs & AI meanings
(gud ol) adj., Sarcastic description of anything, saying it is positive but really meaning negative. “It’s time for good ol’ math.â€Â [Etym., 90’s youth culture]
Contributor says he first came across this word in a juvenile novel entitled "Go Saddle The Sea", by Joan Aiken. It was used by English schoolboys in the earlier part of this century in the same context as "crazy"; as in having a crush/infatuation. Illustration: "I'm quite socco over the new Maths teacher.". He doesn't know if this word is still in use, if it was ever in use at all, outside of that boarding school which might or might not have ever existed. (ed: don't call us and we won't call you - ok??)
A middle aged homosexual.
(1) widely used playground precursor to a sound "kicking" - usually followed by "...pal", "...Jimmy" etc., "be frightened...be very frightened!" (2) Always as a shout, 'Square Goes!' was a call to battle. After a brief exchange of abuse, when a fight was obviously called for you would challenge your opponent with the phrase 'Square Goes!" and usually leave a time."Right then ya cunt - square goes - you and me - after maths!", commonly used around 1985-86 (for our school anyway, but we were a bunch of windy-lickers!) During Scottish non-pacifist era extending roughly (very) - 300 B.C. to present day Note: ok, both def's are really the same... but who's gonna argue with a mad Scot??
Idiot, fool, brain dead moron. Often coined as an insult aimed at a person with negligible intelligence i.e. "Phipps failed Maths again. What a pleb!!" (ed: sent in the secondtime by a pleb who got his wires slightly crossed not realising the word was already here).
The name used to describe a set length of time for a class e.g. "first period 9:00 to 9:45 Maths". Source of obvious punning amusement for pre-pubescent boys.

"Flick the vick". To stick your two fingers up at someone in an manner meant to be insulting. e.g. "I gave that maths teacher the vick this morning."'V' sign using two fingers has long been a signal of contempt. It originated during the interminable wars between the English and the French. The French were in awe of the English longbow-men. If the French managed to capture any of the bowmen, their practice was to sever the two "string" fingers of the right hand thus rendering them permanently incapable of using a bow.It thus became a symbol of contempt and derision for those English bowmen who still possessed their fingers, to wave them at the opposing side.During World War Two, Winston Churchill used it either way round, to signify "victory", and the shortened somewhat "politer" name of the action has since dropped into common useage since as "the vick", though the original expression "flick the vees" is still used in alongside the newer term.
