Get the Fratch mug.TABU is a British Army acronym which dates from around World War II. It stands for Typical Army Balls Up and is used in a similar way and in the same context as the American SNAFU. It describes the things that shouldn’t go wrong but invariably do do.
Over the course of time, however, the meaning changed, notably during the Korean War. During this conflict the Americans were in charge of logistics for all allied troops and were told to ensure that American troops were supplied before their allies. What was meant by this was that American troops should have ammunition and essentials before these were supplied to their allies. In fact what happened was that the STRAC REMFS whose duty this was decided it was more important to supply American troops with Coca Cola that the allies with ammunition. In this case TABU came to mean Typical American Balls Up.

Get the TABU mug.A pseudo celebrity is someone who has become famous without having done anything to deserve it, they are the wasters, the drones and parasites of humanity. Having achieved nothing worthwhile, they are best described as the liggers and Kim Kardashians of this world, the braindead youtubers, talentless and lacking any sort of distinction. They are the self-centred and egotistical nonentities for whom princess syndrome is a way of life. The only reason they are celebrities is because they have more egotisticalbullshit than normal people, they are pseuds, thus pseudo celebrities.

Get the Pseudo Celebrity mug.This was originally an acronym used by medical staff standing for Totally Fucked But Unfortunately Not Dead Yet. It can be used to describe a number of different types of patient:
1. Those patients who have a long-term medical condition which requires the expenditure of a great deal of time, effort and resources.
2. Those patients who are quite literally dying or in a Persistent Vegetative State or PSV.
3. Those patients who, although they may have a serious medical condition, are a total pain in the ass
Believed to have started in America, the use of this acronym has become widespread.

Get the Slanging Match mug.Wouldn’t touch it with a bargepole is an expression indicating extreme dislike and distaste for an object, person or situation. The expression can be used in a similar way to wouldn’t touch her with a 10 foot pole, but is not solely applicable to females; it is even more disparaging when used about a female as it treats her as something less than human. Many bargepoles were 12 or 13 feet long, but one specialised type called a setting boom could be as long as 28 feet! So as you can imagine, wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole means something which you would much rather keep well away from.
