Oh la la

It's a French expression, but doesn't mean what you think it does

Oh la la! Un autre embouteillage?! Mon chef va me foutre à la Porte si j'arrive en retard! (Oh god, another traffic jam?! My boss is going to sack me if I arrive late!)

Hovis

A horrible, sort of sour foam masquerading as bread (I'm half French FYI)

Why are you eating Hovis?!?!?!
There was nothing else to eat, it pains me to put it in my mouth

BLOO passport

One of the promised dividends of Brexit to get the nostalgia running. All despite the fact that we could've had blue passports when we were in the EU, and the new BLOO passports give you less freedom than the burgundy ones. And they're made by a French company in Poland.

Have you got your BLOO passport yet?
Yes, and I want to send it back for a burgundy one. At least I have my French passport

Antidisestablishmentarianism

A random word only anyone knows or cares about because it's really long (though it's not actually the longest)

The Conservative Party

AKA the Tories. The party of scum and villainy. The party of parties no less. Weak and wobbly since 2017, and tax evasion and cuts since 2010

How do people still vote for The Conservative Party?
Good question, because they're either in the few who benefit from that lot, or are very gullible or possibly even stupid
