In London a Basher refers to a cheap pay as you go phone. Generally the two types of people who use them are 1) Criminals who want to minimise the risk of having their phones tapped or traced, or 2) Legit persons who use one alongside a decent contract phone, maybe because they like to separate their calls/contacts for example splitting between business/personal or because they're worried about losing a phone and don't want to lose a nicer phone, for example if they're going to a club or if they are in a dangerous line of work.
The term Basher originated from the idea that one can bash the phone around without worrying because 1) The cheap phones typically used are usually simpler and more robust than more expensive phones so they are less likely to break, and 2) Even if the phone breaks you don't care about it.

Get the Basher mug.A bashair is a kind of special person. A bashair is a person who is quite interesting. A bashair is kind of similar to a mothashim. A bashair calls themselves a (choderdod) and like to be called that. A bashair is a good friend and can have many different unique qualities.

Get the always a screech, never a bash mug.In the RC world, bashing is racing without rules or regulations. It is just driving and testing the limits of your RC car or truck. Bashing includes making high jumps and not worrying too much about the landing. Wrecks are not something to be avoided but rather something to laugh about.
