kashmir

1. A territory between India and Pakistan, the subject of international dispute between the two countries.

2. One of Led Zeppelin's better songs. In fact, Robert Plant was nowhere near Kashmir when he wrote the lyrics to this. He was actually a continent away in Africa - driving through the desert in Morocco!

fawlty towers

Hotel or rented accomodation which has a catalogue of disasters associated with it, especially if it includes obnoxious staff, etc.

Named after the classic 1970s comedy series starring John Cleese.
The new student accomodation opened for Leeds University students in 1993 was so bad, the students quickly dubbed it "Fawlty Towers".

cybermen

Nasty villains from Doctor Who. As hard as the Daleks but they can climb stairs, without having to resort to johnnycomelately plot devices such as levitation!

pimp

"Pimp" has been used as in insult for at least 900 years.

It is on record that Thomas à Becket, when facing the four knights that were about to murder him in Canterbury cathedral, called one of them, Reginald FitzUrse, a pimp.

Historians might well judge that this was not Becket's smartest ever move.
According to historians, Becket's last words were either

"Willingly I die for Jesus and in defence of the Church!"

Or

"Let me go, you pimp!"
