fox hunting
Country activity carried out by normal, wage-earning, mortgage/tax-paying people, but which is vilified by town-dwellers because foxes look cute and TV tells them that "people who hunt are toffs" (although why being a toff is bad is not clear - inverted snobbery).
Hunting is as much fun as it possible to have. It will probably get banned, but we will carry on doing it anyway. Much police, CPS and court time will be wasted on trying to enforce a ban, meanwhile real crime continues unabated.

wd-40
The opposite of duct tape.
Like matter and anti-matter, these 2 must never be brought in contact or the universe will be destroyed.
WD Stands for Water Displacement and it took the developers 40 attempts to get a formula which worked. Convair, an aerospace contractor, first used WD-40 to protect the outer skin of the Atlas Missile from rust and corrosion.

middle class
Everyone who works and pays taxes is middle class. There has been no such thing as "working class" since the 1970s with the end of mass labour industries such as coal mining and steel.
The other classes are underclass/scum (long term unemployable) and upper class (too rich to need to work).

Kevin empties bins for the council and his wife Sharon is a school dinner lady. They own their own house, take two foreign holidays per year (sun and skiing) and own two cars. They are middle class who work, not working class.

breeders
Breeders are those that choose to have children and get state handouts, extra days off work, preference for choosing their holidays, all at the expense of us who choose not to breed.
I don't want to see photos of your ugly off spring, hear about how clever/funny/cute they are and I certainly don't appreciate you passing their infections on to me.

Baling twine
Baling twine can be used to tie anything together and is the strongest material known to man. If aircraft were built out of this and duct tape, they could survive any crash intact.
A: "This climbing rope is frayed and I have to scale the north face of the Eiger."
B: "Use this length of baling twine instead."
