It’s an acronym standing for Back Of Hand On Forehead. It goes back to the early silent movies where melodrama was the order of the day and the back of the hand on the forehead was used to indicate distress. Now, however, it is applied to those people, male or female, who are complete drama queens and who treat a small setback or minor difficulty as if it was the end of the world. In short, it is the epitome of overdramatic exaggeration.
That wanker is having a BOHOF moment because the canteen ran out of chocolate donuts.
What a complete Malcolm.
What a complete Malcolm.

A friendly greeting, often used in Nottinghamshire, which can leave people not from the Midlands a bit puzzled the first time they hear it.
“Ey up me duck, y’alreet?” (Hello, are you well?)
“Aye, grand. Y’rsel’?” (Yes, I’m fine. How are you?)
“Aye, grand. Y’rsel’?” (Yes, I’m fine. How are you?)

British slang, usually used as “on the razzle”, or sometimes “on the razz”, meaning to be out celebrating with friends and drinking freely. Originally this was Royal Navy slang meaning going out to get pissed usually by doing a pub crawl and ending up having sex with a pavement fairy.

Something really useful from the US. The only reply to be made to an acquaintance, or a co-worker you don’t like very much who makes ridiculous demands on your time and effort for no recompense.
“What did you say when Malcolm asked you to do his work while he sloped off to get freebies at the supermarket?”
“I don’t wanna, I don’t haveta, I ain’t gonna.”
“I don’t wanna, I don’t haveta, I ain’t gonna.”

Viper’s Bugloss is unusual as it is the name for two entirely different things:
1 A common European plant "Echium Vulgare" also known as Blueweed, which has rough, hairy leaves and the flowers start off pink but turn blue as they mature;
2 A European moth "Hadena Irregularis" which flies from July to August, believed extinct in the UK due to loss of habitat;
So despite sounding a bit sinister, it’s just the name of a couple of nature’s minor oddities.

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.

A renifleur is someone, can be male or female, with a medical condition that gives them sexual pleasure from smells. It doesn’t result in them being slightly turned on, but clothes off, into bed, or even the nearest patch of grass, and get it on. The condition can be triggered by a particular smell, usually quite specific and forming part of a fragrance, but in very rare cases it can be triggered by ordinary, everyday, common smells which means that the person must be kept in a sterile, odour-free environment. Surprisingly, many people exhibit a toned down version of this trait which is why males and females can be more sexually receptive when a certain perfume or aftershave is used.
Have you smelled the stench coming off Malcolm? He's enough to make the most ardent renifleur get a gas mask!
