Rover

That white oversized beach-balloon thing off of the cult 1960s psychological British spy TV-show "The Prisoner" (the one with Patrick McGoohan). Rover acts as the disciplinary force in a disguised detention centre for spies ("the village"). Upon finding an escapee, rover pounces on them and knocks them out, then carries/drags them back.

Patrick McGoohan almost escaped in the first episode of "The Prisoner", but then Rover caught him and foiled his escape :/

Stale

The opposite to the British slang term 'fresh' - A person who, having come from another country to the Uk and being seen as 'fresh' has since adopted to the customs, habits, dialects etc of that particular region.

- Your grandma's from Nigeria? Is she fresh?

- Nah she's been living here quite a while, she's stale now.

hugging

Where one being wraps their arms around the body of another being and holds them close for a moment. The psycho-physical message is along the lines of: "It's okay, I've got you"

Is mostly non-sexual, unless you go for a grope halfway through it ;)

Not strictly limited to humans, hugging can be done by other species, replacing arms with wings, tentacles, hooves, etc....

Within friendship, hugging can be a great way of expressing support and platonic love :)

Royal Wedding depression syndrome

Sometimes abbreviated to RWDS - it is a condition which affected people most recently in England, around the time when Prince William and Kate Middleton (now Princess Katherine) had their wedding. The condition's leading cause appears to be the general atmosphere created by such an occasion. Specifically it is when people get fed up with all the media focus and people generally getting too excited about the wedding, tas well as certain companies producing Royal Wedding condoms.

1) Man1: "Are you watching the royal wedding tomorow?"
Man2: "No man, I got Royal Wedding depression syndrome!
Man1: "Seriously man? That's too bad."
Man2: "No I haven't really got it, I just couldn't give a shit."
Man1: "..."

Maths

One of the weapons of mass-torture (WMT) that teachers have up their sleeves, only useful if you wanna become an engineer or doctor or something fancy like that. Maths is known to bore the poor students who study it to the point of depression-induced suicide. It can pay the bills though.

I plan to become an artist so I don't see how studying Maths at A-level will do me any good.
