Self-aggrandising is what people who have got fuck-all going for them do. It means boasting about yourself and your abilities, telling everyone how wonderful you are, broadcasting copious quantities of bullshit thickly overlaid with FIGJAM. Normal people exposed to the effects of some self-aggrandising nonentity usually experience attacks of acute nausea followed by the need to get as far away as possible from the source irritation.

In Cornwall in the South West of England, this is a dialect name for a woodlouse, so although not strictly slang it still owes its origins to dialect and common usage as slang words do. The difference between dialect and slang is that dialect is not constant, for example just across the Tamar in the county of Devon a woodlouse is ‘chickypig’ while in Somerset it’s ‘gramfy-coocher’ and in Gloucestershire ‘johnny-grump’.

Tom derives from Cockney Rhyming Slang and like so many other rhymes it has been shortened to just the initial word of the phrase e.g. bread and honey (money) became bread. However, unlike many others, Tom has multiple meanings which often can only be inferred from how it is used. Some of the common meanings of Tom are listed below:
1. Tom from Sir Thomas More = whore;
2. Tom from Tom Tit (old English name for a Blue Tit) = shit;
3. Tom from Tomfoolery = joolery (jewellery); incidentally don’t blame me for their pronunciation.
4. Tom from Tom Cat = twat/prat;

A Tusk is a small, annoying creature, usually in politics who has been promoted far above his/her level of competence. They are prone to making stupid, inflammatory statements when they would be better advised to shut the fuck up, but unfortunately they invariably exhibit all the characteristics of a brain transplant donor. Rear-minded and insular during negotiations they have a talent for retarding progress and making things difficult for everyone else involved. To minimise the adverse effects Tusks have, they should be gagged with their hands handcuffed behind them (to prevent masturbation, they are invariably total wankers and kept out of sight in a small room with padded walls.

English slang which can mean feeling poorly or can describe something as useless or unfit for purpose. So if someone says they feel like shit warmed it means they are feeling extremely unwell or under the weather. But if it is their opinion of a device, person or product, it means that the device, person or product is a total WOFS.
