Gets Coat

The term *gets coat* is a phrase used usually after a joke that has failed, or one that is terrible/in bad taste. Usually found on forums and internet message boards.

On other occasions, those with extended wit can often be found using such alterations as *doesn't have a coat*.

It's origins could be traced back to a series of sketches in the Fast Show, which ended with Mark Williams saying "I'll get me coat" after saying something which made him look like an idiot.
An example of this is as follows:

Person 1: I've just been on a boat.
Person 2: Did you have a whale of a time?
Person 3: *gets coat*
*gets coat* may also be found spoken by Person 2 at the bottom of their post, if they realise the appalling nature of their joke before posting.

GATSO

Short for "Gatsometer" - a Dutch made "photographic trap" system used in the UK and Europe to identify speeding motorists. The GATSO traps are unmanned and take a photo of the rear of the speeding vehicle.

"Gatsometer BV" was founded in 1958 by Maurice Gatsonides, who was a famous rally driver and invented the "Gatsometer". This was the world's first reliable speed measuring device.
Fucking GATSO camera photographed me speeding on the A449. I wish those cunting police officers would invest more time and money in catching burglars instead of implementing another of the government's plethora of stealth taxes.
