type cast
To presume that an actor or actress will assume a character akin to that for which they have previously become famous. A good example is Matt Le Blanc. Having become so famous for his laid back, butt of all jokes character Joey in the tired US comedy Friends, it becomes hard to take him seriously in any other type of role.
Mike: Shall we rent 'Lost in Space'?
James: (hysterical laughter) Look, it's Joey on the cover trying to look hard!
Mike: Yeah, I guess he has been type cast

chugger
Composite of 'chrity' and 'mugger'. These people will stop you in the street and talk to you as if they are your oldest and best friend. All of which is a false cover for their real intention. Working on commission, they need people to donate to the charities which they 'represent' and to do this they will guilt trip you into handing over all your details.
One effective way of giving to the charity, yet not being conned into surrendering your card details and other sensitive information is to request the address and contact details of the charities head office and offer to make a direct payment. This will annoy the chugger as it cuts them out of the equation but you will have the upper hand. Otherwise try to think of a quirky reply to their begging for which they will have no answer or look straight through them.

Chugger: Do you like children?
Me: Yes, but I couldn't eat a whole one.
Chugger: (silence and look of shock)

Wetherspoons
A chain of pubs throughouth Britain that act as a magnet for chavs and minors. Invariably centre stage for all fighting due to the lack of entertainment allowing low priced alcohol and thus large concentrations of both men and women that enjoy violence.

rolling on dubs
To drive a vehicle fitted with large (and usually ridiculous looking) alloy wheels. Rock stars and footballers proudly roll on some of the biggest dubs that often have spinning centres that automatically make them look like retards.
Matt, I saw Joe Cole in his car yesterday.
Was he rolling on dubs?
Yeah, he looked like a total knob.

Dr Beak's Chicken
Possibly the worst name for a fried chicken restaurant I have ever known. It exists somewhere in London, although I can't remember exactly where. If anyone has a photo, please add it.
