An export is a pint sanctioned by a beloved local. Unlike a regular pint, this one is endorsed by the pub, who are entirely happy that you take it home with you, glass and all.
It must be noted that with power comes great responsibility. The glass must be returned within a 24 hour period, lest said privileges be revoked.
Should a member of staff ever question the loyalty of an export beneficiary, his/her door keys must be offered to whomever asks, with an invitation to check said home for unreturned glasses. If a single pub glass is found, said folk be barred for a month.

Host: 'In twenty minutes'
You: 'May I have a pint now… and an export for later?'
Host: 'Certainly'

To the layman, it's an alternative to but. However, the connotations of but are wholly negative, whereas however provides an Icarus from the ashes.
Use it sparingly, use it well.
Use it sparingly, use it well.
She: 'I must profess I have a big butt. However, it's as shapely as the legend of bootylicious, therefore you must worship.'
You: indeed.

A phase common amongst more affluent males in their early twenties, which typically requires the exchange of basic hygiene for Bob Marley memorabilia, dreadlocks and second hand military clothing.
Early warning signs include the gradual slurring of speech (as made popular in the movie 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure'), endless discussions of aid increases/debt reduction and an overall musky smell.
A Gap Year Anarchist will subscribe to numerous clichés. Behaviour may include voluntary summertime homelessness/squatting, throwing flour & dancing on a Cenotaph.
The phase ends when the GYA finally succumbs to pleas from his/her family and/or bank manager/student loans company/court, gets a haircut, a job and a life!

"And once again a Gap Year Anarchist succeeds in his lifetime's ambition: to get all the attention. Well done. *slow hand clap*"

When someone uses the word adamant in a sentence to try sound precise and determined, lower the tone and throw their momentum right off by directing the conversation to 80's legend Adam Ant, of Adam and the Ants.
They: '...so I told her I was adamant that...'
You: 'Hold-up! YOU were Adam Ant, 1980's pop star & all 'round Goodfella?'
They: 'Eh, er, um, wha...?!?'
You: 'You know, Adam Ant. War paint on face? Answers to 'Highwayman'? Swings from chandeliers?'
They: "No, I was just sayin'…'
You: 'Are you… Adamant about THAT? just sayin''
They: '....'

An enterprising individual, whose superior technical ability often clouds the presentation to 'normal people' of an otherwise inspiring solution to a frequently infuriating problem.
Steve: "If you just tweak this bit of code, then..."
Human: "Dude! You're such an EntrepreNERD. How DID you know that?"
Steve: "RTFM"
(Note: The use of the name 'Steve' is not directed at a specific individual, but the name does crop-up so frequently in IT, it's uncanny...)
