British Navy slang dating from around the First World War. A Pavement Fairy is the name for a prostitute or woman of easy virtue. The pavement part comes from these women having 'beats' on the pavement of a particular street, whilst the fairy has nothing to do with homosexualirty, but possibly derives from Cinderella's Fairy Godmother who makes wishes come true.
There's a rude version of the Irish folk song 'The Spanish Lady' that mentions it:
As I walked into Plymouth City,
Union Street it was late at night,
There did I see a pavement fairy
Washing her snatch in the pale moonlight,
First she washed it then she dried it
Over a fire of red hot coal
In all my life I ne'er did see
So much singed hair round a dirty great hole.

A derogatory term for an American of African descent, typically who you would call "gangstas" and see in the "hood" or "ghetto." They are addressed as such since they spend most of their lives in the wild - mainly lurking in alleys and selling crack or mugging people. You can catch them off guard during the day by offering them grape soda.

Get the Pavement Blob mug.Pavement Womble. Although a rare breed of people, they are extremely common on pavements. Even outside of peak times these people stride the pavements relentlessly, picking times to head out when they see passers by approaching. The main thing about the breed of human called the pavement womble is they not only have a forward motion, the also womble from side to side. This slows them down but also blocks none wombes from passing by, in effect they take up twice the space of normal humans. They are a danger, especially to children, a womble in can easily squash a small child without even realizing. Trying to pass them isnt easy, sometimes people are forced to step around them but they are run over by passing cars, as they do not anticipate the side wards movement. Pavements that are regularly used by wombles can subside, so there are calls for womble lanes with reinforced concrete to be created. At the moment mps defending wombles rights are asking for bus lanes to be converted to womble lanes. Pavement wombles should be given at least a 2 meter circle of avoidance as you never know the direction they may womble. Often wombles are overweight, this is considered a contributing factor to the amount they may sway. Its especially dangerous to consider passing a pavement womble in the wind, children and elderly should avoid them at all costs. The anti womble society advise crossing the road to avoid them. They are calling for a ban on pavement wombles during the school runs.
