Cuspidor

A cuspidor is a large bowl, often of metal, serving as a receptacle for spit, usually from snuff dipping or tobacco chewing. Generally considered to be the same as a spittoon, although spittoons tend to be shorter than cuspidors. The word comes from the Portuguese “cuspir” meaning to spit which itself comes from the Latin “conspuere” meaning to spit upon.

Toreador,
Don’t spit upon the floor,
Use the cuspidor,
That’s what it’s for.

Gemma Collins

Z-list celebrity with an overdeveloped sense of her own importance, looks, intelligence and abilities. A repulsive hamplanet who is a complete waste of space.

Q How would you describe Gemma Collins?
A Face of a camel, body of a hippo, brains of a gnat.

Drunk Chivalry

Refraining from having sex with a female while you are both suffering from the effects of overindulgence in alcohol. Most cases like that are usually described as brewer’s droop or beerdick. Perhaps the person who came up with the idea that this is down to morals, ethics or willpower should remember the old saying a standing cock has no conscience and leave the bullshit to the politicians.

“Sally and I got ratassed last night; she was gagging for it, but I didn’t do anything.”
“Drunk chivalry?”
“Nah, brewer’s droop.”

BBA

British Army slang acronym from around the time of World War 2 and stands for balls, bum and armpits. This referred to the areas washed when time is of the essence or water in short supply. It is somewhat similar to an airplane bath but less thorough than HF-AGBA. It was extremely common during the 1950s when National Service in the armed forces was compulsory in Britain for males between the ages of 17 and 21.

Right! A quick BBA then I’m chasin’ pavement fairies

Gowk

Gowk (pronounced ɡaʊk) is a noun with a number of meanings. It is sometimes used to mean a cuckoo or an awkward, clumsy or stupid person. Apparently the word goes back to ancient German and could mean a bastard, simpleton, or fool, which gives its commonest usage namely an awkward or foolish person. There is also a third totally distinct meaning; in Geordie dialect it means an apple core.

“You passed your kid off as his? You fucking gowk!”
