Horace Wimp's definitions

Julian

A type of owl specific to the North Wales coast, known for its distinctive bald head, poor eyesight, large beak and high pitched chirp. Often found in stew.
"Henry, is that a Julian over there? It is, you know! I'm almost sure of it. If only we could hear it's distinctive, high pitched chirp...oh there it goes! Yes, it's definitely a Julian."

good luck

Simple phrase used to catch out British spies or agents when masquerading as the enemy. When wished 'Good luck' in English by a foreign agent they find it literally impossible not to reply with 'Thanks old bean!' or something similar.

Most famously used in The Great Escape.
Hans Nazihausen: Halt! Sprechen sie Englisch?
John Smithson: Nein! Der English sind Schwein-poopen.
Hans: Haha, Ja. Good luck.
John: Thanks old bean!
Hans: AHA!
John: Oh bother.

our man Flint

Used to describe someone who is being a cock, possibly inadvertently or by accident, and normally used by much bigger cocks/jerks, who incorperate the phrase into a petty rant against the normally helpless first party. Often used in description of first person to a third party, with all three present (see example).
1: Look, I'm sorry. It's not my fault, I -
2: Oh no, you forget it, sonny! You're too busy prancing about on your boat to give a fuck for us lowly workers!
3: Whats the crack here then, lads?
2: Oh the office party has only been bloody cancelled, hasn't it! And our man Flint here isn't even sorry! Prick.
