It’s an adjective and it means having or showing a bad temper; being annoyed and irritable; being cranky or disagreeable. You know the sort of person, they come into work pissed off with everything and everybody and just looking for an excuse to blame somebody for everything that is wrong in their crappy lives, the world, the universe. Thoroughly unpleasant shitbags.

English slang deriving from the expression pissed as a newt. It, along with the expression from which it is derived, is used to described someone who has enjoyed more alcoholic refreshment than is good for them.

This is Westcountry slang dating back to before the First World War. Skates are very slippery fish and the name was applied to people who had slippery natures in that they were untrustworthy, would try to avoid giving information or were just not very likeable. The use of the name expanded to include people who were wheeler dealers or people who do a lot of ducking and diving but no actual work. The name is disparaging but at the same time may hold just a hint of reluctant admiration. It is, however, a warning as a skate has no conscience and is totally unscrupulous and untrustworthy. The term is believed to have been used extensively by the British armed forces and was used to describe someone who was a slippery customer, fishy and who avoided their share of the work.

Basically it means very cold. The sort of cold that puts a heavy frost on the ground and makes your hands go numb. The word is possibly a combination of “frosty” and “hoary”; hoary being the greyish-white appearance frost gives to the countryside.

Acronym standing for Do Good By Stealth. Originally part of a longer phrase “Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame” it can be found in “An Essay on Man” by Alexander Pope. What it means is to do a good deed for someone or to make a donation to charity without anyone knowing that you have done so. You do it because it’s a good thing to do and you do it in such a way that no-one finds out about it. This means that it is the total opposite of what some so-called celebrities do, namely, supporting a charity with as much self-aggrandising publicity and bullshit as possible to try to revive their non-existent careers. It’s also completely different to some mega-rich waster making a huge donation to charity as a status symbol. DGBS is done in a way that avoids recognition, so it is an end in itself, and what is gained is self-respect.
For real self-respect, DGBS.
