bank holiday bob

A dull, middle aged man who works long hours and therefore for whom a bank holiday is one of a few days off they get in a year. As a result, despite rarely venturing outside their home town for most of the year, feel obliged to go on a day or weekend trip to a hackneyed tourist destination like Blackpool or Rhyl for the day even if the weather is awful. Usually found in a traffic jam with a Bingo Maud (not yet defined) on the M6 in a Fiat Uno, often towing a caravan.

Where's all this traffic coming from? Bloody Bank Holiday Bobs!

referooed

'Referooing' and 'referooed' are verbs to describe football games where the referee's bias, incompetence or poor decisions have a bigger influence on the game than what the players themselves do.

'When France beat Ireland to qualify for the World Cup 2010, the fact that the referee did not disallow the goal for handball means the game was well and truly referooed.
