Creaking

Something old and falling apart

That place is creaking it should be pulled down

This jumper is creaking. It's seen better days

Twizzy

Probably a combination of 'twirl' and 'dizzy'. When kids in the 60s, a bigger stronger person would give you a 'twizzy' by standing behind you and lifting you up under your armpits and twirling you round.

Give me another twizzy, Uncle Bob!

taking the piss

It's now often used when people take liberties and don't care about the consequences, for instance someone living in a nice house and trashing it or ridings roughshod over neighbours, knowing he won't get evicted by the authorities.

Now he's taking the piss. He had his music cranked up again last night and parks in our parking space.

gorge out

Stuffing your face, pigging out, completely over-indulging in something

I had a real gorge out out on deep-pan pizza and prosecco last night

I had a good gorge out on some 70s choons on Saturday
