dhmu

Dhmu (don’t hit me up) is a phrase used on snapchat. It is used to say “don’t text me or dm me or contact in any way.” People put on their snapchat story “dhmu” to express they are sad, or don’t feel like talking. sometimes but not all the time, dhmu is used for attention so people ask them what’s wrong.

Person 1: “Hey are they ok?”
Person 2: “they put dhmu on their story, leave them alone for now.”

fisticuffs

Fisticuffs are a favourite pastime for the Victorian Gentleman, as well as a way to sort out minor scuffles and souffles. Unlike modern boxers, the Victorian Gentlemen were not layabouts nor lollygaggers; they required neither padding nor special equipment. Bare knuckle fighting was the order of the day, and some experts believe it was the special of the day. This mano-a-mano competition could continue for anything up to 45 days, both combatants circling each other slowly, weighing up the strengths and weakenesses of their opponent and smoking fine cigars. During fisticuffs, the jacket is always taken off, braces are unhooked from the shoulder and sleeves are rolled up.

Victorian Gentleman 1: Right-O Charles, did you see Johnathan over there challenge the Duke of York to throw down in fisticuffs?

Victorian Gentleman 2: Dear Lord, I daresay this could turn out to be a proper flogging! That pompus French bastard needs a good lashing

Victorian Gentleman 1: Right-O Charles! Right-O!

Sporno

'Where sport and porn meet and produce a huge money shot'

Coined by British writer Mark Simpson - who also coined the term 'metrosexual' - in OUT magazine in 2006.

Used to describe the phenomenon of professional male athletes such as David Beckham, Freddie Ljunberg and various naked rugby players, posing naked - or almost naked - and oiled up in homoerotic poses on the side of buses to sell men's briefs and nudie male calendars.

Also used to describe inadvertently, sometimes comically pornographic-seeming snaps of sporting action - usually male team sports where one player appears to be mounting another or giving a blow job.

'Almost everywhere you look, sports, advertising and fashion seem to have jumped into bed to produce a spornographic money shot. Sports stars have become sporno stars. How did this happen? What does it mean? And where can I get hold of a pair of those pants?'

- Mark Simpson, 'The London Times', July 2008
