A worthless paper. Full of pointless stories about why Britney this and why Britney that. Tales about illegal immigrants. Boring celebrity stories that keep the vacuous-minded completely riveted! Anyone who takes these papers seriously isn't too smart ...
... the British love tabloids. They revel in the stories about illegal immigrants ... it gives them a "folk devil" to look down upon.
The effect: A large number of British people hate illegal immigrants. This has been partly fuelled by the tabloids' endless campaign against them, especially in the past few years.
"They should all be left on an Island" ... a typical tabloid reader, talking about illegal immigrants.
"Don't get me started on illegal immigrants" - a typical tabloid reader in Kent, UK
"Those Asians hang around in groups. The ones in Afganistan should be shot" ... young man reading tabloid in Canterbury, Kent, UK
"I think all application forms from Indians should be burnt" (puts on a fake indian accent after saying this) .... Human Resources woman in Maidstone, Kent, UK, working for a public sector company!! She'll get what's coming to her one day ....
Tabloid-loving racists are not uncommon in the UK ....

Get the Taboozaning mug.Tabio'd (to Tabio)

When a co-worker leaves the room without putting their computer in screen saver or sleep mode the computer can be accessed without a pass-code, you then open a web browser on their computer and open multiple tabs. You then use Google Image Search, key-word "Fabio". Select a different picture in each tab, opening the image to full size and then hiding the browser window for your co-worker to find later. He or she has been Tabio'd

Get the Mount Tabor High School mug.TABU is an British Army acronym and stands for Typical Army Balls Up and is used to describe the things that shouldn't go wrong but do. Is used in a similar context to the US Army SNAFU.
During the Korean War, American REMFs in charge of logistics and supply were told to supply American troops before their allies. What was meant of course was to ensure that American troops had ammunition and essentials before supplying these to their allies. This was misunderstood and as a result, American troops were being supplied with Coca Cola before British troops were getting ammunition.
When informed of the situation the Colonel of one British regiment supposedly grimaced and muttered TABU before ensuring that the situation was corrected. Though whether by TABU he meant the error in the supply priorities or the Americans being in charge of supply is open to conjecture.

Get the TABU mug.Mythological ring that is the key to opening a gateway between this world and the next. It is gold in colour with a hole on one side and a gem embedded on the opposite side. When placed into a small hole in an ancient stone called a ben ben at a certain time, it uses the energy from a distant star to open the gateway. This event only happens about once every 5,000 years or so.
A gold ring with the name Hecate engraved in ancient Phonecian on the inside of the ring. The ring is known simply as the Ring of Tabor as it's keeper originated at Mount Tabor in Israel.
