Ear Wax

A secretion, varying from yellow to dark brown, from modified sweat glands within the ear. Its purpose is to lubricate and protect the delicate skin within the ears. Occasionally a build up of this substance can cause partial deafness, discomfort or pain and may require removal. This can be achieved with a special liquid available from pharmacists, or by syringing the ears with water or vacuum extraction by a qualified medical practitioner.

Greased

To be greased means to be killed. Originally it meant to be killed by multiple bullet wounds from a weapon fired on full automatic but gradually its use extended, particularly during the Vietnam War, until it was used to describe any death caused by enemy action.

The expression originated from American troops of the Second World War who were armed with the M3 submachine gun. Since the M3's nickname was 'grease gun', supposedly from its resemblance to the mechanics tool, enemy troops killed by the M3 were soon referred to as having been greased.

Sand Rat

British Army slang in use before the Second World War, a sand rat is a whore, hooker or prostitute in a seaside town. They became known as sand rats because, like rats, they only came out after dark and would take their clients down to the beach for sex on the sand.
A British squaddie going on leave might say to his mates, "Right, I've got me 'water wings and calamine' and I'm off to play with the sand rats."
Note Water wings and calamine referred to condoms and barrier cream issued to soldiers to try to reduce the risk of them contracting STD.

BBA

British army slang acronym from just after the Second World War and stands for Balls, Bum and Armpits. This referred to the areas washed when speed is of the essence or water in short supply, somewhat similar to an airplane bath. Extremely common during the 1950s when National Service was compulsory for all British males between the ages of 17 and 21, the BBA was reintroduced to the public conciousness by author Jonathan Gash in his Lovejoy novels.
Right, a quick BBA and I'm off on the piss!

Namby-pamby

A noun describing a male, can be child or adult, who adores his Mother and who seems to have no desire to cut the apron strings. Although not always overtly homosexual they tend to have feminine mannerisms and interests and are overly sensitive to criticism and the reactions of others to them. In short a total wuss or the worst sort of softy.

No, he's always doing that.

graveyard fuck

This is where a male person has sex with a woman of advanced age, quite literally old enough to be his granny. There is no love involved, it is usually done for a bet or some other reason. If the woman is rich or a celebrity, the male becomes known as a 'toy-boy'. If a woman indulges in a graveyard fuck, it's invariably with a man who is rich and powerful and she expects marriage to result. She's in it purely for the money so I suppose that makes her a whore and therefore it's not really a graveyard fuck..
Look at that old bat blowin' kisses at Jed!
Well, that's what happens when you get pissed and have a graveyard fuck.
