Rug Muncher

This phrase can be used to mean a number of different things:
1. A totally unacceptable way of referring to a person with a learning disability; see also window licker.
2. A somewhat disparaging way of referring to someone whose behaviour can vary from eccentric to clinically insane, who is prone to do things that range from slightly strange to outrageously weird.
3. A totally appropriate way of referring to someone, a small child or an adult with the mental capacity of a small child, such as a female suffering from acute princess syndrome, who is prone to temper tantrums, and will throw themselves to the ground and bite the carpet.
4. Possibly the best known and most humorously appropriate, someone, male or female who indulges in cunnilingus also known as muff diving. Incidentally, many lesbians refer to rug munching as “ling” (from cunnilingus) although ling is also a large, rather smelly fish, says it all really.
1. It is unacceptable to call a person with a learning disability a 'rug muncher'.
2. Malcolm is acting stranger and stranger, he always was a bit weird but he’s turning into a right rug muncher.
3. What a thoroughly nasty little brat, screaming because she can’t get her own way! A thoroughly nasty little rug muncher.
4. Look at those two dykes groping each other in public! Get a room you rug munchers!

Traffic Calming Measure

This is something that happens in supermarkets; a two-seater with a trolley is wandering slowly and aimlessly down the aisles with a queue of other customers behind them. They seem apathetic and prepared to tolerate the slow progress, none of them apparently capable of saying “Excuse me” or “Can I just get by” or even “Get out of the way you fat, useless lump of shit!”

I went to the supermarket to pick up some food but didn’t bother, the place was full of traffic calming measures.

Pongoes

British slang dating from the mid to late nineteenth century, meaning soldiers. Soldiers were not popular at this time as Kipling’s poem Tommy shows (Barrack Room Ballads 1892). The word itself stems from expressions used by comedians in theatres and music halls to get a cheap laugh. The two that are most commonly quoted are "where the army goes the pong goes", or “when the wind blows the pong goes”, pong meaning smell. This quickly became pongoes meaning soldiers plural and pongo meaning an individual. Another possible explanation is that the soldiers were being likened to a large, hairy, smelly ape called a pongo. The expression is still in use today although not common, confined mainly to those who saw service in World War II or Korea (very few now) or who did National Service in Britain while this was still compulsory.
Ambulance chasing lawyers, seeking compensation for terrorists, still see soldiers as pongoes.

Ear Wax

Although it may look like wax and be called wax, you can’t make candles from it. It’s a semi-solid varying in colour from almost white, through yellow to dark brown, secreted from modified sweat glands within the ear. Its purpose is to protect and moisturise the delicate skin inside the ears. What can happen, though, is that over-secretion causes a build up within the ear which can cause partial deafness, discomfort or pain and may require its removal. To do this a special liquid can be obtained from pharmacists, although this is not always successful. Alternatively the build up of wax may be removed by syringing the ears with water or with a specialised vacuum extractor, these last two should only be done by a qualified medical practitioner. On no account should you go digging around in there with cotton swabs or trying to melt it out with ear wax extraction candles.

Adaptable

It’s an adjective; it means able to adjust to new conditions or capable of being modified for a new purpose. It can be applied to both people and objects and some authorities say that being adaptable, able to cope with changing conditions, is why humans are the dominant life form on earth.
It is frequently used in the workplace to describe someone who can handle anything and is capable of taking on the jobs that would have others scratching their heads until they got splinters under their fingers. It is also used to describe members of the British armed forces, one reason, perhaps, why they are the best in the world.
People are adaptable when conditions change.
The telephone was sufficiently adaptable to go mobile and send texts.
