Silly Buggers

British origin.
Evolving from the term of abuse bugger, meaning a sodomite or irritating person. To play 'silly buggers' is to generally act the fool, lark about, waste time or generally mess things up. As illustrated by English band The Bus Station Loonies song "Playing Silly Buggers" (1995).

"They were too busy playing silly buggers to get the job completed in time".

mohawk

Once, the punkest hairstyle on the planet, adapted and adopted from various native North Americans, including the Huron and Blood tribes. The originators of the mohawk style in punk circles were Wes Beech (of US band Plasmatics) and Rainy (of UK band Discharge). The punks went on to spike their mohawks with soap, eggwhite, glue and hairspray, as the Native Americans had with buffalo grease, before going into battle. A hairstyle which used to guarantee ridicule and abuse from braindead trendies. Since David Beckham's half-arsed style around 2000, the mohawk has become trendy and acceptable, so what's the point?

Now these trendy sheep think a mohawk's cool, I think I'll grow a comb-over instead.

Gratey

In general terms, an uncomfortable place. A dusty, awkward corner. Usually the gap sometimes created between a single bed when moved slightly away from the wall.

"What's up with you? Did you get out of the wrong side of bed this morning?"
"Certainly did. I woke up to find myself halfway down the gratey!"

plink

The odd little stalk atop of genuine beret. Also a tuft of stray hair that simply refuses to lie flat. Or a stalk on a piece of fruit you have to pull off prior to consumption (say, on an apple or strawberry).

"Zat is not mon beret, zere is no plink!"
"All set for the job interview, except for this darn plink won't stay down!"
"It's all right, grandad, I've mushed-up all your fruit and de-plinked it".

Bibby

A childish term for a hideous cherub or picture of a sickly-sweet baby or seraph. The sort that puts you off your meal.

"Yuch! I don't want to eat my sanwdwich in the Cistine Chapel, it's too full of Bibbies".

tag nuts

Must be of UK origin. You all seem to know what dangleberries or klingons are. Well, they're also referred to as Tag Nuts. The curse of puberty in every one of us.

Ance, voice-wobbling, sweaty moments and wet dreams; all a delight when compared to the discomfort of accumulating tag-nuts in adolescence and beyond.
