mohawk

*Additional to earlier definition* Sorry, I misinformed you people, it was Plasmatics lead guitarist Richie Stotts who was one of the first to introduce the mohawk as punk rock chic, not Wes Beech. I've read references to bihawks and trihawks... another variant on the style is the Trojan... longer at the front, tapering off gradually to the back.

Richie Stotts, along with Discharge bassist Rainy, were two of the first punk rockers to introduce the mohawk hairstyle to that particular genre.

Travis Cut

From the film "Taxi Driver" (1976). The central character (played by Robert De Niro) goes doolally and society is to blame. During his journey into madness and mayhem, he decides to shave his hair into a mohican style or mohawk. This hairstyle has since been particularly embraced by punk rockers thanks mainly to this movie and the bands Plasmatics and Discharge. The De Niro character is called Travis Bickle... therefore a "Travis Cut" ("Bickle Cut" sounds too much like a chunky sandwich spread).

Travis Cut were also the name of a UK punk band from the mid 1990's.

SEVEN SHADES OF SHIT

The ultimate degree to which an individual is pummelled/ kicked-in/ beaten-up... The last word in a complete and utter kicking... Of UK origin but, believe me, there is no escape...

Goodness! You should've seen those old/bald geezers going mental... After reading that embarrassing and patronizing claptrap penned by Ethan P., the creaky fellas went apeshit and kicked seven shades of shit out of him. Everyone applauded, including the pacifists. That'll make the ageist cunt think twice before spouting such drivel again.

rainbow party

In the US, it is apparently a euphemism (or media-invented myth)for rather lewd naughtiness (see all other definitions). In the UK, it means jelly, ice-cream and dressing-up as Zippy, Bungle, Geoffrey, George, Rod, Jane or Freddy and singing "The Wheels on the Bus". The latter seems condusive to a much more satisfying experience.

Yank: Dude, I'm so emotionally crippled and shallow, I went to this badass Rainbow Party last night. Now I feel even more empty and my dick's kinda itchy.
Limey: I say, old bean, I had a Rainbow Party last week! We all had a beezer time, despite Bungle having eaten too much jelly and ice-cream.

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.

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".

Punk

A late 20th century phenomenum. The greatest, most earth-shaking popular culture since rock'n'roll. Musically, an natural evolution of folk/protest music. For the people, by the people, an accessable documentaion of modern times. Genuine eccentricity for the modern age, lampooning all trends before it and sticking two fingers up to a confused and plastic world.

The Bus Station Loonies.
Ruptured Ambitions.
Dick Lucas.
Vivian Stanshall.
Ian Dury.
John Peel.
Punk is punk is punk is punk.
There is no authority but yourself.
Do anything you wanna do.
