Coprolite is a noun meaning fossilised animal faeces. The word literally means “dung stone” and comes from the Greek kopros (dung) and lithikos (stone). Usually coprolites are animal manure and, between 1860 and 1890, were mined commercially in Cambridgeshire England and processed to be used as a fertiliser. When you think of it, it’s not that much of a surprise, after all it is fossilised shit. What is also not too surprising is that the word has also come to describe a person who is old, set in their ways and a thoroughly disagreeable arsehole as well. So if you have a boss, teacher or acquaintance who fits that description, congratulations, you know a coprolite.

Slang believed to have originated in the North of England, bird turding means to talk nonsense, or to boast with nothing to back it up. Possibly derived via pigeon fanciers, telling someone that they are bird turding means that they don't have the facts and are basically talking bird shit. Telling someone that they "ain't bird turding" means that they have got it right.
"Winkies who try to aggrandise themselves using Urban Dictionary are just WOSPs."
"You ain't bird turding there, pal."
"You ain't bird turding there, pal."

The word was probably first used in 1942 by J Saunders Redding, but it is possible that it was used before this. When Redding used it, he intended it to mean stay alert for injustices or discrimination. Unfortunately it is now being used as a tool to discriminate against white people, or anything else that the Chattering Classes, Snowflakes or political opportunists find unacceptable.

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.

This is an attitude and behaviour pattern which is demonstrated by certain females. It’s usually the ones who are narcissistic and who have an overrated opinion of their own intelligence, sense of fashion, taste in music and so on. They are so self-centred and egotistical that they apparently believe that the world revolves around them, and the only purpose of males is to gratify their every wish; you know the sort, the Kim Kardashians and Nicole Scherzingers of this world, stupid and unpleasant. They can be any age from six to ninety-six and many of their demands are petty, ridiculous and self-serving, such as the toilet seat must always be left down. Noel Coward must have been thinking of them when he wrote ‘Certain women should be struck regularly, like gongs.’ (Private Lives 1930). See also Barbara Cartland.
“Did you hear that? Crazy bitch wants me to take her to the theatre, followed by a meal at the most expensive restaurant and don’t forget to bring a dozen red roses! I only met the retarded slapper yesterday.”

Over 99% of the gases in a fart don’t smell! This is because a fart is mostly oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen and methane. Nitrogen is not produced in the gut, but comes from the air we breathe.
