Billy Bragg

A "new wave" artiste of dubious ability, most well known for being a Champagne Socialist.

Much has written in the specialist press concerning his early break into the music business and his entanglement with the well known louche impresario Cock-Stand Cuthbertson, various episodes from which have led to his oft quoted soubriquet of Percy.
Chas: Look at that prick, he's just stumbled into a selection of cold meats "oi Percy, bit unsteady on yer plates eh mate"

Dave: Percy? So that's Billy Bragg - what a tosser.

Chas: Yeah, right, "Bard of Barking" my arse.

Billy Bragg: Gis a fag.

Dave: Piss off Percy, you ponce.

Billy Bragg: Aww c'mon lads I'm one of you.

Chas: Nah mate, you aint.

An Irish phrase meaning shit, derived from ass
(Not to be confused with the literal description of one's buttocks)
"Did you hear the song Aylek$ dropped?"
"Hardly. Her music is absolute cheeks."

"My boyfriend say LaFlame is cheeks."
"Tell your boyfriend I said it's his mixtape that's cheeks."
