Rectalgia

Rectalgia is a medical term meaning a pain in the rectum. You can see where this is going, it can be usefully applied to people who are a pain in the arse, you know the WOSPs, Malcolms and fuckwits of the world. See also pygalgia.

There are some people whose mere existence causes acute rectalgia.

Manna for the mindless

Manna for the mindless is a disparaging description of television programmes that do no more than fill up air time. The programmes that are banal, trivial and boring and which, if they were a person, would be described as a WOFS. You know the sort of crap, pretty well all of daytime television, soap operas screened at any time, moronic game shows, chat shows featuring liggers or z-list celebrities, the list just goes on. It is the sort of programme which doesn’t require dumbing down as it is targeted at fuckwits or insomniacs who need something other than drugs to help them sleep.
Before twenty-four seven television was inflicted on a long-suffering human race, manna for the mindless was typified by film serials where the hero always overcame impossible odds to rescue the heroine from an impossible situation and the villain was always defeated. Either that or the Hollywood musical of the 1950s such as Carousel or South Pacific, total shite consisting of totally forgettable songs, stilted dialogue and a non-existent plot.

"Jane, would you like to come bird watching, there’s a good chance of a peregrine’s mating display"
"No, I've got to watch Loose Women!"
"Manna for the mindless!"

Politically Active

At its best it means interested in politics and government; trying to make a changes in public policy, laws or the government working to get an official elected, or lobbying to have legislation passed, collecting petition signatures. It can also mean a person trying to change things for their own benefit, to gain status or power in the workplace. It can also mean someone who is a nuisance, constantly wanting to change things and who interferes in matters that are none of their concern. At its worst it means a total fuckwit like Russell Brand a self-styled activist for whom politically active means espousing views that the majority of people find repugnant or ridiculous.

Some people are politically active because they have nothing else in their lives.

Crumping

Walking over freshly fallen snow; so called because of the ‘crump’ noise that your footsteps make as you walk. Note: This is totally different to Trumping which is stamping over everything while talking loudly of things you know nothing about.

The clouds have cleared away, let’s go crumping.

Ear Wax

Although it may look like wax and be called wax, you can’t make candles from it. It’s a semi-solid varying in colour from almost white, through yellow to dark brown, secreted from modified sweat glands within the ear. Its purpose is to protect and moisturise the delicate skin inside the ears. What can happen, though, is that over-secretion causes a build up within the ear which can cause partial deafness, discomfort or pain and may require its removal. To do this a special liquid can be obtained from pharmacists, although this is not always successful. Alternatively the build up of wax may be removed by syringing the ears with water or with a specialised vacuum extractor, these last two should only be done by a qualified medical practitioner. On no account should you go digging around in there with cotton swabs or trying to melt it out with ear wax extraction candles.

I've got so much ear wax I can't hear a thing.

BHNC

Acronym, possibly from the United States, standing for Big Hat No Cattle. Describes people who are full of bullshit but invariable have nothing to back it up. Almost identical in meaning to the English acronym AMAT.

"Malcolm's always telling people he can do any job in the department, but if someone asks him for help he disappears."
"No surprise there BHNC."

Bacronym

An example of a Neologism and an alternative spelling of the word backronym, a term was probably invented by Alan Chapman a business consultant based in Leicester England. Both spellings are used on his website (Businessballs), but bacronym might just be linguistically purer than backronym (being closer in appearance to acronym).

When used as an acronym fine is actually a bacronym.
