Logically enough it is something spoken by someone who is a twat, cretin or braindead fuckwit. Typically something uttered by the woke brigade such as "all whites are guilty of unconscious bias!" This is not the sort of drivel that J Saunders Redding intended when he urged people to "Stay Woke."

This is very old slang, but is still used occasionally It refers to a person who falsely claims to have medical knowledge or qualifications, especially one who dispenses pills, potions and ointments that have curative properties. The word comes from the Middle Dutch word kwaksalver which means one who sells salves and ointments. Although seldom used nowadays quacksalver is the origin of the term quack which means pretty much the same thing.
“Johnny’s in hospital with pneumonia, his doctor missed it!”
“What did you expect, the old bastard is past it and no better that a quacksalver.”
“What did you expect, the old bastard is past it and no better that a quacksalver.”

TPO is an acronym standing for Thoroughly Pissed Off; this means that you are about as far from happy as it is possible to get and the world and his brother can fuck right off and die.

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."

A phrase used in Britain to denote the belief by certain mouthy activist groups that British society as a whole discriminates against minorities. These groups can represent ethnic, religious or other minorities, or they could just be professional bleeding hearts, but they all promote the same bullshit; namely that an action taken by society against a member of a minority group will automatically infringe their human rights. This has led to the ridiculous situation where members of a minority groups get away with acts that would see a member of the largely silent majority jailed. This is due to greedy lawyers and waste of space organisations who mindlessly support these people, often at huge cost to the British taxpayer.
Unfortunately minority pressure groups like Liberty, professional bleeding hearts and all the other wasters who are BVA have pressured politicians into the belief that this is a vote winner. In fact, if politicians merely gave the matter a few minutes thought (there's an oxymoron politician and thought) they would realise that they are placing the needs of a minority above those of the majority. Effectively they have been brainwashed into a Minority Mentality.

Certain pressure groups are demanding that Shamima Begum, a member of Islamic State who has had her British citizenship revoked, should have it reinstated and should be allowed to return to Britain. A really unpleasant example of the Minority Mentality at work.

Damage limitation means actions you take to limit or offset the damaging effects of an accident or error. Well that’s the official line anyway, but in most cases what it means is the person responsible for the fuck up Running around like a striped ass ape in order to cover their own ass and prevent any of the shit flying around from sticking to them.
Camilla Batmanghelidgh’s idea of damage limitation is to cover her own fat ass and blame everyone else.
