Latibule
It means a cosy, safe place, hidden away from everyone which is special to you. It’s the sort of place where, on frory days, you can kick off your shoes and settle down in your huffle-buffs, maybe for a bit of firkytoodling or just to relax. See also Hibernacle.

Mistletoe
Most people think of mistletoe as being romantic, but it isn’t, not really. The name derives from mistletan, which means a twig of mistle; the seeds of the plant are propagated through the excrement of birds, notably the mistle thrush. If you now take account that the old Germanic word ‘mist’ means shit or dung, mistletoe’s name translates as ‘shit plant’.

Boracic
It’s pronounced ‘brassic’ and it’s slang for being penniless. Like so many other widespread expressions, it derives from the Cockney rhyming slang 'boracic lint' which rhymes with skint signifying that the person has no money. Incidentally, boracic lint was used as a dressing in the treatment of ulcerated skin.
“Chas, can you lend me a ton? Angie wants to go out tonight an’ me cashpoint card’s knackered.”
“Sorry mate, I'm boracic.”
“Sorry mate, I'm boracic.”
