shew 

Norfolk dialect for the word "show", usually in a past tense. We can't help it if we're backward...

"He shew me this video of Chyna..."
"You mean, he had shown you this video of Chyna. Get it right."
"That's what I said. He shew it to me..."

ickle 

A tiny item or person but with a huge amount of cuteness and/or youth attached. Coined by ginger-haired freak Chris Evans during the Nineties.

Ickle may be used in the same way as mister, before the person's name.

"Can you tell me if Ickle Sally working today?"

mangle 

1. A Victorian device used for drying clothes.

2. To wreck or distort by applying force to it. For example, a colleague at work frequently mangles the English language by trying to speak it.

1. "I say, Edward! Have you ran my bloomers through the mangle yet, what?"

2. "I would like one pint of biter peas."

Bloody Mary 

1. A classic cocktail made from vodka, tomato juice, salt, pepper, a celery stick and other spices. I'm told that I make the best in London which is annoying because I don't like them. Waste of vodka if you ask me.

2. The name we give to my insane grandmother. She doesn't mind...

1. "A bit too spicy, Mr Ben. I admit, I'm a pussy but I need some ice please."

2. "Would you like a cup of tea, Bloody Mary?"
"Am I free? Of course I am, dear..."

Brandy Alexander 

A bartender's nightmare because it involves cream. Take a large brandy, mix it with creme de cacao and double cream (one part cacao, one part cream and two parts brandy) and shake the whole thing over ice. Strain into glass and top with grated nutmeg or chocolate. Curiously popular with old ladies but not as nice as a Grasshopper.

"Can I have three Brandy Alexanders please?" - order guaranteed to piss off this bartender.

hippo 

1. A large amphibious land animal, looking like a fat, gray, leathery horse. They have a huge mouth with missing teeth and a foul temper. Do not approach or feed.

2. A fat woman dressing up in clothes several sizes to small. Do not approach of feed.

1. "And now we see the hippo in their natural habitat..."

2. "God damn, that bitch is a right hippo!"

thieving gypsy bastards

Fairly self-explanatory, I thought. Unseen or unknown person who steals petty things like pens and penny coins. Not to be confused with black holes.

"Thieving gypsy bastards!"
