Kiss up kick down is a neologism, believed to have originated in the United States, which describes the situation where employees in an organisation are polite superiors to the point of sycophancy but abusive and unpleasant to subordinates. The people who do this are often those who do not have the ability to progress further and try to take out their frustrations on others as they lack the courage to try something new. They are usually bullies who are scared of competition, change and anything else that they see as a threat.
“I see Malcolm’s gone from reducing Jenny to tears to kissing Mark’s arse.”
“That’s Malcolm, kiss up kick down.”
“That’s Malcolm, kiss up kick down.”

There are a number of definitions to this phrase, two of the commonest being:
1) Someone whose behaviour does not conform to society’s norms. It can be applied to a broad range of people, from those who are slightly eccentric to others who have completely lost touch with reality and need psychiatric help. The phrase can even be qualified to show the degree to which the person is affected. If the person was only mildly eccentric, they would be described as 'a bit of a whack job', if the behaviour was rather more weird then they might be described as 'a proper whack job'. If the person was seriously insane then they would be 'a total, out-and-out, raving whack job'.
2) A professional killing, also known as a hit. The whack part comes from the victim being killed (whacked), the job from the fact that this is done for payment by a professional (it's his or her job).

This is a fact unlike most of the stuff submitted by brain dead retards. Because of the food they eat vegetarians fart more than non-vegetarians! Apparently, it's because much of the food they eat, particularly beans and soya based products, carbohydrates made of molecules that are too large to be absorbed in our small intestine during digestion so they pass into the large intestine still intact. This leads to an increase in certain bacteria in the lower intestine needed to break down these carbohydrates which produces large amounts of hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide gas. So the next time a vegetarian tells you to stop eating meat to lower your carbon footprint, tell them to stop farting and set an example.

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!”

Not to be confused with hellish, healish is English slang derived from the word heale, it is an adjective used to describe someone whose behaviour is that of a total tosser, waste of space or OIC. They are the sort of people for whom arsehole is too kind a name, who are narcissistic crawlers with little in the way of either intelligence or talent. Avoid them at all costs as their proximity will bring on attacks of acute nausea.
