British Army slang believed to date from around the time of the Second Boer War 1899 - 1902, so called because smoking caused the troops to gasp for breath when engaged in strenuous exercise.
I'd just got clipped by a Boer bullet, nuffin' serious, so Jack gimme a gasper while he put a dressing on it.

A handkerchief or tissue. Implicit in the word is that the handkerchief or tissue has been used and that the product within it is particularly vile, greasy, and slimy; the result of diseased sinuses or a severe nasal infection. By extension the word can be used to describe a person having the same qualities, an obnoxious, slimeball whose very presence makes people nauseous.

This is where a male person has sex with a woman of advanced age, quite literally old enough to be his granny. There is no love involved, it is usually done for a bet or some other reason. If the woman is rich or a celebrity, the male becomes known as a 'toy-boy'. If a woman indulges in a graveyard fuck, it's invariably with a man who is rich and powerful and she expects marriage to result. She's in it purely for the money so I suppose that makes her a whore and therefore it's not really a graveyard fuck..
Look at that old bat blowin' kisses at Jed!
Well, that's what happens when you get pissed and have a graveyard fuck.

British Navy slang dating from around the First World War. A Pavement Fairy is the name for a prostitute or woman of easy virtue. The pavement part comes from these women having 'beats' on the pavement of a particular street, whilst the fairy has nothing to do with homosexualirty, but possibly derives from Cinderella's Fairy Godmother who makes wishes come true.
There's a rude version of the Irish folk song 'The Spanish Lady' that mentions it:
As I walked into Plymouth City,
Union Street it was late at night,
There did I see a pavement fairy
Washing her snatch in the pale moonlight,
First she washed it then she dried it
Over a fire of red hot coal
In all my life I ne'er did see
So much singed hair round a dirty great hole.

Joe's out on the razzle tonight, but he's goin' for the pavement fairy first before he gets too pissed.
