This means, quite literally, “one who eats faeces”. French beef farmers, supplying meat for export, feed their cattle human faeces as a cheap food as it contains large amounts of partially digested cellulose and thereafter the cows exhibited coprophagic behaviour. Under certain conditions dogs also develop coprophagic behaviour, but this can be prevented, and cured, by feeding them tinned pineapple!
The use of the term has expanded to describe someone who, while not very clever or good at their job, is always smarming round the boss. The sort of behaviour exhibited is:
1. laughing excessively at the smallest joke;
2. apparently sharing the same interests and hobbies as the boss;
3. getting the boss tea or coffee without being asked;
4. sending the boss Christmas and Birthday cards, often with a gift attached;
Exactly the sort of behaviour that makes you think that if the boss crapped on their desk they’d eat it and swear it was ambrosia. These people are usually mediocre to poor performers and its only their relationship with the boss that keeps them from being potted.

“Malcolm’s just given the boss a big birthday card and a present, so I told him he was a perfect coprophage. The twat looked at me as if I’d just paid him a compliment.”
“You did. Nothing about that wanker is perfect.”

This means that you have no sense of smell. If you have anosmia, you can’t smell flowers, perfume or home cooking; this can lead to sufferers becoming intensely depressed. There could be some advantages, like when some diseased arsehole lets go a really poisonous fart you won’t smell it, even though everyone else has tears in their eyes from trying not to puke. Similarly stuck in a boring lecture next to someone whose BO is blistering the paintwork and everyone else thinks that there is a problem at the sewage works you won’t be bothered. By and large, though, anosmia is pretty shitty.

British Army slang for a cigarette believed to date from around the time of the Second Boer War 1899 – 1902. A gasper was a high tar cigarette, without any sort of filter tip, such as Woodbine or Capstan. They got the name because smoking caused the troops to gasp for breath when engaged in strenuous exercise.
“I'd just got clipped by a Boer bullet, nuffin' serious, so Jack gimme a gasper while he put a dressing on it.”

It’s a noun occasionally used in pathology meaning a pain in the buttocks. So if you say that someone gives you pygalgia you are saying in a polite and technical way that they are a pain in the arse.
“How would you describe Malcolm?”
“Pygalgia!”
“Pygalgia!”
