Definitions by The Fat Welshman

Hootenanny 

Original meaning is a thingamajig in US slang and it can be used to conceal the meaning from children, strangers etc. Usually tools. In the later 20th Century it came to mean an informal party with music.
Don dropped his spanner under the hood. Dang! Pass me my hootenanny.

Crotchdemon 

When Sally got in the crotchdemons had covered the kitchen in peanut butter.

Dildo and ten eighths 

1970s slang for a super idiot where dildo means idiot but the person referred to is more than a run of the mill example. Heard around UMIST in Manchester.
Kevin’s a real idiot!
No he’s not. He’s a dildo and ten eighths.

Penencephalon 

Medicalised version of penis brain derived from dickhead. Literally a fusion of penis and encephalon.
“You remember when Larry trod on the cat and knocked the drinks table over?”
“Yep. He’s a penencephalon alright!”

anocubital dissociation 

Fancy way of saying that someone’s arse (ass) is not connected to their elbow - derived from the saying that some idiotic person “can’t tell his arse from his elbow”.
Tom’s really stupid! Yeah I know - he has anocubital dissociation.

peeaitchyewseetee

Concealed way of saying phuct. Both ways of pronunciation have been in use since the 1980s. I first heard the expressions used in Lancaster University.
Jack crashed on the motorway. He’s OK but the car’s peeaitchyewseetee

gob on stilts 

A loudmouth, someone who habitually says it like it is and some. Also implies a gossipy context to whatever is announced.
Probably Lancashire dialect or urban slang.
Your mate Tom is a bit of a gob on stilts isn’t he!
