Traffic Calming Measure
This is something that happens in supermarkets; a two-seater with a trolley is wandering slowly and aimlessly down the aisles with a queue of other customers behind them. They seem apathetic and prepared to tolerate the slow progress, none of them apparently capable of saying “Excuse me” or “Can I just get by” or even “Get out of the way you fat, useless lump of shit!”
See also red rover, Traffic Jam, Road Block.

I went to the supermarket to pick up some food but didn’t bother, the place was full of traffic calming measures.

Spite Monkey Attack
This is an action that usually takes place on Spite Monkey Sunday, some little prat decides that they can best get their self-aggrandising definition accepted by making multiple submissions. They then decide to try to improve their chances by voting against any other definition that has been submitted, a typical demonstration of the spite monkey mentality. The end result of their self-centred, immature nastiness is to effectively bring Urban Dictionary to a standstill.

Drone Browser
An individual who cruises Urban Dictionary, browsing various words or authors and liking or disliking (usually disliking) words, either because they didn’t think of them themselves or because they were added by a particular author. They have appointed themselves as critics of the people who try to increase the content and scope of Urban Dictionary, without making any sort of contribution themselves. These people are drones; each of them nothing more than a self-absorbed waste of space as, for the same effort, they could vote on the inclusion or exclusion of new words and help keep Urban Dictionary functioning efficiently.

Noo Yoik
It’s the way that New Yorkers pronounce New York, it surprised the hell out of me the first time I heard it. Interestingly, they believe that theirs is the correct pronunciation and that everyone else in the world has got it wrong; they make the most Londoncentric of Londoners seem positively open minded; they do to the American language what Americans do to English. Something else interesting is the temperature range; Summer temperatures can reach 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), dropping to minus 4.4 degrees Celsius (21.4 degrees Fahrenheit)in Winter. Perhaps it is these extremes of temperature that make New York extremely dangerous; in London (population 8.3 – 8.6 million depending on who you believe) 2014 saw 93 murders, while New York (population 8.4 million) saw 328.
“Noo Yoik! That’s the place where things happen!”
“Yeah, like lots of murders. No thanks, you can keep it!”

Bacronym
An example of a Neologism and an alternative spelling of the word backronym, a term was probably invented by Alan Chapman a business consultant based in Leicester England. Both spellings are used on his website (Businessballs), but bacronym might just be linguistically purer than backronym (being closer in appearance to acronym).

Fratch
A fratch is a quarrel or disagreement between two or more people. It can vary from a fairly mild dispute through an overexcited slanging match to a no holds barred dust up.
“He was lookin’ for a fratch and kept pushin’ an’ shovin’ me. So I gave ‘im a smack in the chops, ‘e got what ‘e wanted.”
