FISH & CHIPS

British Army acronym describing urban warfare, it stands for Fighting In Someone's House & Causing Havoc In People's Streets. It probably comes from some squaddie saying that urban warfare was fighting in someone’s house, another realised that it spelled “FISH”. The logical thing, given the British soldiers’ sense of humour would be to add “& CHIPS” and find something appropriate to match the letters. Strictly speaking that makes it a bacronym, but a remarkably appropriate one for all that.

Get your gear together we're off on a Fish & Chips exercise.

Snap Twat

A fuckwit who sends a stupid picture of themselves naked or in a compromising position to someone on Snapchat. The person who received the picture, makes a copy and posts it on YouTube where it goes viral. For the idiot who sent the picture in the first place there are two possible options suicide or emigration to somewhere where there is no internet connection.

“Malcolm sent a picture of his dick to Mary, her bloke saw it, copied it and posted it on YouTube, over 4 million hits so far.”
“I always new Malcolm was a twat, but now he’s a snap twat as well.”

Bat-faced Jelly

Uncomplimentary nickname for Camilla Batmanghelidgh (pronounced bætmængelɪdʒ), people in the USA probably won’t gave heard of her, but she’s the weirdo hamplanet who set up a charity called Kids Company in the UK which closed amid allegations of misuse of funds and child abuse in 2015. Investigations showed that despite having had over £46 million of taxpayers’ money the charity’s financial arrangements were chaotic and considerable sums had been used for purposes outside the remit of the charity. When this came to light, Bat-faced Jelly went into damage limitation overdrive (she made Donald Trump look like an amateur). Unfortunately her idea of damage limitation seemed to be more along the lines of avoiding personal blame, apparently never having heard of the buck stops here. While the closure of the “charity” may have been regretted by some, the reaction of the vast majority was relief that the government wouldn’t hand over any more of their taxes to a bunch of wasters.

“Did you hear old Bat-faced Jelly in that radio interview?”
“Yeah, no wonder she got so much money out of the Government, she can beat politicians at bullshitting!”

Fart Fact 6

If you think you fart a lot, guess again, you probably don't fart as much as you think you do. Often, people go to their doctor complaining of having too much gas, but chances are, they are just imagining it. These people are usually told to go home and keep a record of when they fart. Gastroenterologist Dr Michael Levitt found that most of these people fall within the normal range of farts per day (see fart fact 5) and merely need to be shown that they are normal.

“Malcolm’s letting rip again, one of the exceptions to fart fact 6.”
