Sue Dawe

'Sue Dawe' is written into ancient Devon folklore as being a truly terrible monster. Just like the famous Dartmoor beast, Sue Dawe struck fear into the hearts of local men and women during the late 1800s. Her sausage arms would strangle local pig farmers to death in the dead of night leaving their families to discover the bodies with a sliver of Sicilian tart next to them. In modern times, people use the term 'Sue Dawe' to describe anything at all frightening or unpleasant.

Bleddy hell! She was just like Sue Dawe with the way she behaved.

Social butterbitch

The term, social butterbitch, derives from the universally known phrase 'social butterfly'. A social butterbitch is someone who socialises with lots of different people but on a purely lame level. They try too hard and it's cringe worthy.

You know that guy Mike? He's a damn social butterbitch if ever I seen one.

Edu-waffle

The use of trendy and emotive language in educational contexts to convey or describe otherwise normal, expected and mundane occurrences. Often used to virtue signal and gain validation.

Edu-waffle: "What stood out most was the way Paul spoke about putting children at the heart of every decision, and the deep, intentional leadership they've cultivated. High standards, but always deeply relational."

Reality: Paul is fulfilling the basic criteria within his job role.
