Kettle Fingers

A person who uses the kettle so frequently — constantly making tea or coffee — that it seems like their fingers are permanently fused to it.

This word was originally coined in 2025 by Constandinos Stelios Savva, a London-based creator. He invented the term to describe people who are always boiling water for a brew.

(Created by Costa Savva, 2025 — all rights reserved to the original mind behind “Kettle Fingers.”)
“Bro, you’ve had five cups already today. You’re such a kettle fingers!”
“Living with a kettle fingers means the kettle never gets a rest.”

Kettle Sniper

A person who uses the hot water from a freshly boiled kettle leaving nothing behind for the person that actually boiled it.

Generally in an office or communal kitchen, where someone will go to make a tea or coffee, fill and turn on the kettle. During the 2-3minutes taken to boil the water, they may go to the toilet, answer the phone or otherwise get distracted. When they return to the kitchen the water ha been used and they have to refill and re-boil starting the time wasting cycle all over again.
Additional annoyance may occur when the first person has placed a Mug or Cafetiere on the side with ingredients inside ready for the water, but the second person has ignored this and continued without any regard for the first
Some Kettle Sniper stole my water when I was in the toilet.

I went to answer the phone and the Kettle Sniper struck.

Trevor Kettle

Describes someone who is incompetent. In fact, 'incompetent' is being too kind - they are shite. Completely shite. So shite that the decisions they make do little else than inflict unhappiness and induce rage.

A shit stain on the adult diaper of life.
They are a bit of a Trevor Kettle; c*nt!
