Slang from South West England, a squitter is a thoroughly nasty, smelly, disgusting squirt of liquid or semi-liquid faecal matter. Usually used as a plural, the squitters is an attack of diarrhoea brought on usually by overindulgence in alcoholic refreshment. Using squitter in the singular form means a single squirt of repulsive, stinking, watery shit and by extension a repulsive, stinking, watery shit of a person. In both cases the best thing to do is flush the toilet with plenty of disinfectant.

Unlike Itsy Bitsy and Teeny Weeny, Navvy Gravvy doesn't refer to just a small size but to a small amount. A navvy gravy is a very small amount, a little tiny bit, a very fine shaving. In common use within the Royal Dockyards where very small adjustments have to be made, by shipwrights and shipfitters, to customise components in order to get them to fit correctly. Thought to date from around the mid-nineteenth century when many tasks in shipbuilding were still carried out by 'eye', although the origins or the words themselves are not entirely clear, it is still in use today where non-standard sized items have to be adjusted to fit.
As an illustration; if a hole is drilled in a piece of metal to take a bolt, the hole is the correct size but the bolt doesn't fit. The drill is then run through the hole again and the bolt fits. Careful examination may reveal a few grains of metal dust or the tiniest finest curl of swarf removed by the drill, that tiny amount is a navvy gravvy.

Noun (plural). It means the sort of assholes who try to get their advert accepted as an Urban Dictionary definition. The sort of people who try to get a flattering definition accepted, of themselves if they haven't got any friends, or of some female if they think it will help them get into her knickers. These are the same sort of people who will attempt to get an unflattering description of someone accepted as a definition because that person has pissed them off and they are too weak or chicken shit to do anything else about it.
In short they are people who are weak, ineffectual and friendless, a failed evolutionary experiment that should be consigned to Mother Nature's rubbish dump. Incidentally the noun singular (Winky) is also the name given to a minutely small penis - says it all really.

"What a crowd of winkies!"

Awkward Squad is the name given to that group of people in any organisation who cause problems and difficulties. They are apparently normal, everyday human beings, but when they get together, things just go wrong. They are not necessarily troublemakers, although in some instances they can be, but some strange synergy causes things to go wrong in their collective presence.
The origin of the word dates back to just after the Second World War when National Service was compulsory in Britain for males over the age of eighteen. This meant that all sorts of people, some of whom were totally unsuited to military service, were inducted into the armed forces. That they were unsuitable quickly became apparent, and they tended to be grouped together to keep the clumsy, the unwilling, the careless and troublesome in one unit which became known as the awkward squad
