Rumpo

A somewhat derogatory way of referring to a female who is immediately available for sex. It can be qualified to give a more accurate description of the female in question e.g. “a nice bit of rumpo” would be a female who is attractive as well as available, while “a right bit of old rumpo” would be a female who is available to anyone and his dog.

That bit of rumpo has had more pricks than a worn out dartboard.

Necrophobia

Necrophobia is the irrational fear of corpses, not just those of people but animals as well. Also included in this fear are the people, objects and ceremonies associated with death such as undertakers, morticians, coffins, tombstones, cemeteries and funerals. In a another way necrophobia could also be used to mean a fear of the dead by a cultural group, that their spirits will return to haunt the living, causing them harm in some way.

In some cultures necrophobia would be totally alien as the dead are welcome among the living.

Heale

Contrary to some theories, this is not a British adaptation of the American pejorative cognomen heel. In the USA it means someone who is a bit of a petty jerkoff but in Britain it is applied to people who are total shits, the wasters, skates, snotrags and OICs who plague society like festering sores. The word is said to derive from the British upper class pronounciation of 'hole' (heale) an abbreviation of the word 'arsehole' (awseheale). It was first used by upper classes in the early twentieth century when it became fashionable for flappers to use ‘bad’ language. For a long time it was virtually unknown outside fashionable cliques like the Cliveden Set and was frequently used to describe people they didn't like. It wasn’t until comparatively recently that it became more widely known due to the internet and period dramas. More people began using it although there is still some confusion with the American insult heel. A rather snide use is to use it to refer to someone, knowing that they know what it means, or that it will get back to them, strangely it usually seems to be women who use it in this way.

“That vile creature Malcolm is trying to give Kim hell because he heard she called him a Heale.”
“The fact he’s having a hissy fit and she’s smiling makes me think she got it right.”

Cambodian

US Army slang from the time of the Vietnam War, it refers to Cambodian Red, a type of marijuana readily available there.

We’d been humpin’ it out in the boonies and I was shagged out, as the Limeys say, but a coule of hits off some Cambodian fixed that.

Unfit For Purpose

This expression originated with the Royal Navy where stores or equipment were found to be damaged, wouldn’t work or could not be used for the purpose for which they were intended. The expression quickly found wider usage and is now applied to not just stores and equipment, but to organisations, designs even concepts. It can also be applied to co-workers if they are not doing their job properly and, in extreme cases, used as a put down where someone is a complete arsehole and unsuitable to be considered part of the human race.

Malcolm you are unfit for purpose.

Dung Hampers

English expression in use by sailors in the Royal Navy before the Second World War. It refers to large, baggy and shapeless underwear that can be male or female attire. When male it refers to the baggy shorts that were issued to both junior and senior rates at the time. When female, it refers to the baggy bloomers type of knickers with elasticated legs, the sight of which is guaranteed to turn off all but the most ardent (or desperate) suitors. In short they are the sort of thing that not even Bridget Jones would wear.

I was goin' to try and pull the bird in the flat opposite 'til I saw her peggin' out her dung hampers on the washing line.
