Sometimes written as YFIx2 it is an acronym standing for “You Fucked It You Fix It” meaning it’s your mistake so you sort it out. Believed to have originated with the Royal Navy, it is used in the same way as SOYOS or SYSO.

Farts travel quite quickly at around 3.05 meters per second, which is roughly 7 miles per hour, which is faster than your average jogger who moves at about 6 miles per hour.

A mildly mocking synonym for the United States. It originated in the song “Another Pleasant Valley Sunday” written, in 1967, by American song writing duo Gerry Goffin and Carole King. The song, recorded by American group the Monkees, highlights an obsession that Goffin and King thought was common to many Americans namely to increase their status. To have a bigger house, a better car, more televisions, more of everything than anyone else to show how “important” they are. They don’t actually need all this stuff, they just want them as status symbols.
Now before anyone gets pissed off and rejects this definition, think about it; the phenomenon may be more widespread and common than people think, why do so many people try to get a definition on Urban Dictionary? Is it to include a new definition, or a variant of an existing definition to increase the useful content of Urban Dictionary, or is it to give them something to boast about to their friends, a status symbol?
Incidentally, if you think Goffin and King were being too general about Americans and status symbols consider the group that recorded the song, the Monkees. They were manufactured by the American music industry in an attempt to rival the Beatles, so were the Monkees musicians or an attempt at a status symbol?

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday, here in status symbol land.
With thanks to Gerry Goffin and Carole King.

A namby-pamby (plural namby-pambies) is someone, usually a male, who is overly weak, sentimental or indecisive. It was a play on the name of Ambrose Philips, who wrote sickeningly sentimental poems for children. The nickname was devised by Henry Carey, a poet and songwriter, who wrote “God Save the Queen” and “My Country ‘tis of Thee”. It was popularized, however, by Alexander Pope in his satirical epic “The Dunciad”. It can also be used as an adjective meaning weak or spineless, lacking vigour or decisiveness, and overly sentimental.

This is quite old slang but still used occasionally in the South-West of England. It derives from cloths or clothes and refers to a woman’s knickers, drawers or panties. It is quite disparaging and is used to described undergarments of the baggy Bridget Jones type or things so foul, tattered and disgusting that they should be classified as a health hazard

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.

Sharp rays of bright sunshine that pierce the canopy of a wood or forest. The word possibly owes part of its origin to shiv slang for a knife which in turn is derived from the Romany word chiv meaning a blade
