Oonch Fancier 

British slang from the 1950s thought to have originated in East Anglia and meaning a lesbian. The word oonch is thought to have derived from the dialect pronunciation of 'conch' and was used as a slang name for the vagina due to the resemblance of the opening of the female genitalia to the opening of a conch shell. Thus a lesbian became an oonch fancier.
"Ah! I wouldn't mind a bit of that!"
"Forget it boy! She's an oonch fancier."

Crimp Off A Length 

Royal Navy slang dating back before the Second World War, it means to defecate, crap, shit or take a dump. Nothing fancy, to crimp off a length you merely have to evacuate your bowels.
"That fat fucker of a stoker is getting shitty with me again!"
"What're you goin' to do?"
"Next time the cunt is down the engine room, I'll crimp off a length in his best boots!"
British acronym standing for Arrogant Obnoxious Bastard. Associated with the term Any Other Business, it refers to the people who tend to raise things when this item is reached on the agenda. They are usually in love with the sound of their own voice, won't take direction from the Chair and have a total disregard for the commitments of the other people at the meeting. Their pet subject is usually minor and could be put on the agenda of the next meeting, yet despite its unimportance they continue to drone on about it at interminable length leaving the other members of the meeting contemplating the validity of justifiable homicide.
"Malcolm's droning on about de-humidifiers again."
"That AOB! If he lost half his body mass his fat ass wouldn't sweat so much!"

Bird Turding 

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."

British medical acronym standing for Alert, Voice, Pain, Unresponsive. It is used in casualty assessment where Alert means just that, the patient is alert and responsive. Voice means that although dazed or semi-conscious, the patient responds to the sound of the human voice. Pain that although apparently unconscious the patient responds to a pain stimulus. Unresponsive means that the patient is unconscious and unresponsive or worse.

With the increase people suffering from the effects of overindulgence of alcohol turning up at Accident and Emergency departments the acronym has changed slightly to reflect the behaviour of these people. Namely Acrimonious, Vomiting, Peeing/Pissing, Unconscious. In these particular cases Acrimonious means aggressive and quarrelsome, Vomiting means suffering from nausea or actually vomiting, Peeing/Pissing means that they have lost control of their bladder and possibly bowels as well and Unconscious that they are out cold either sleeping it off or dying from alcohol poisoning.
Malcolm can't hold his drink, he's gone through all stages of AVPU.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going 

What this means is that when faced with difficulties and adversity, those who are mentally and physically resilient do not give up, but formulate an effective and disciplined plan of action which they initiate and carry through to a successful conclusion.
"Despite getting stuck with the fallout from Malcolm's fuck-up, Nick got everything sorted inside of a week!"
"Yeah, when the going gets tough, the tough get going."
