Imagined SMS exchange*:
A: I am quite enamoured with you.
B: I feel rather passionately disposed towards you.
A: If only...
B: ...we weren't so many shag miles apart?
A: Yes, but it's a measure of my deep-seated lust for you that I will travel around 150 shag miles to see you.
B: I'll be waiting on the bed with my kit off.
*The real exchange would be considerably fruitier than this

Get the Typothermia mug.I hold doors open for ladies and am therefore chivalrous. You, you "souped-up" Citroen Saxo driver, you wearer of faux Burberry, you drinker of crap cider, you denizen of a sink estate, you comon oaf, are chavalrous. Begone!

Get the Chavalrous mug.Another unfortunate compound noun.
Thai + Irish = Thairish, reflecting the profusion of (at best fake and at worst real) Irish bars in Thailand.
Of course, is said by a native of that fair Asian country, it becomes Thailish.

Remember the old song:, "When Thairish eyes are smiling"? Well, it's often playing in half a dozen faux Irish bars in Phuket right now...

Get the Thairish mug.A wax-jacketed, huntin', fishin' shootin' type, such as me, of the English countryside, who loves to indulge in all things bucolic and preserving of the rural landscape, including killing and eating as much of it as possible. As me, quite possibly ex-Army, wont to driving old Land Rovers, being rather poor and fond of cord trousers and tweed if a chap and nice skirts and floppy straw hats if a chappette.
Not to be confused with the agri-yob, which is a lower caste of countryside dweller altogether.
Not, either, to be confused with Barbar the Elephant.

William Boot, erstwhile and unlikely hero of Waugh's novel Scoop and the writer of "Feather-footed through the plashy fen passes the questing vole", might well be described, by today's standards, as a Barbourian.

Get the Barbourian mug.Rather common, potentially fearsome and almost entirely insane lower-class countryside dweller wont to shouting "GET ARFF MOY LARND!" and pointing a 12-bore at one. Fond of tractors, cider and unpleasant acts with farmyard creatures, he or she serves a purpose. Quite whatthat is, apart from making a good beater and emptying the slurry pit occasionally, is moot.
Not to be confused with the Barbourian, which is a far higher caste of rural inhabitant altogether.
Better somehow, than town-centric, SUV-driving types, whose prisitne vehicles climb nothing higher than the kerb outside the local Waitrose.

Referred to in Blur's Coffee and TV, the agri-yob also features in the film Straw Dogs and in Waugh's novel Scoop.
From Coffee and TV:
"Do you go to the country?
It isn't very far.
There's people there who will hurt you
Cos of who you are…"
