Alvins, The

Proper noun. Origins; NW Kent, SE London, early 21st century.

The feeling of dread that descends on a person before they have to embark on a long, arduous journey with little or no reward at the end of it. Commonly affects those using public transportation.

The Alvins can be particularly severe if the victim has to return home to their boring job, nagging wife or ugly children after a weekend away.

Symptoms include general antipathy towards other humans, random acts of violence on public transport and negative body language/bad posture/general slouching. These are likely to be exacerbated if the people waving them off are settling into a few beers or are merely inches away from their sofa.

- "How long will it take you to get back to Edinburgh from London?"
- "It depends on the train, I'm getting The Alvins just thinking about it."

- "I hope you have a pleasant journey home..."

Skolwegian

Adjective. Relating to the characteristics, particularly the accent, of those individuals whose bloodstream and intrinsic attributes have been heavily, and permanently, diluted by cheap, nasty and weak lager. To the point where any original, native aspects of the Skolwegian's personality are indistinguishable, but often have a celtic tinge.

Noun. A person with the above qualities.

Origins. Skol is a piss poor lager, favoured by hardcore alcoholics for it's suitability as a breakfast beverage - being, as it is, extremely cheap and good for settling the stomach before moving on to lunch time tipples such as Tennents Super or vodka.
"Did you see that Skolwegian on the bus, urinating in that pram..."

"Good morning Seargent, I'm the Skolwegian translator..."

"I couldn't understand a fucking word he said but judging by his Skolwegian tones I assume he wanted a pound for a cup of tea."
