londoncentric
A word used to describe the attitude of Londoners who seem incapable of realising that places other than London even exist. It describes the attitude that London is the centre of the universe and that anywhere else in the country or even the rest of the world is unimportant and not worthy of their attention. In short it describes people whose heads are so far up their own arseholes that if their eyes aren't brown then they ought to be.

Londoncentric means centred on London (the one in the United Kingdom not Kentucky USA). Only achieving wider use during January 2014, it describes the apparent belief, of pundits and prognosticators on the politcal and economic situation in Britain, that what is happening in London applies to the country as a whole.
In an interview on Channel 4 News, Chuka Umunna, Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, used the word Londoncentric when replying to a question concerning the British Government's economic figures.

Londoncentric
It’s use has become quite common now in the United Kingdom and has two possible meanings:
1 It can mean centred on London and the belief that what is happening there is a true reflection of what is happening in the country as a whole. This belief is a mainstay of pundits, prognosticators and think tanks, which probably explains why they so often get things so wrong it would be laughable if it wasn’t so damned annoying.
2 It is also used to describe the attitude of Londoners, not just those born there, but transplants from elsewhere who seem incapable of understanding that London is not the centre of the universe. This self-centred, egotistical arrogance has led to the belief that anywhere else in the country or even the world is not worthy of their attention. In short it describes people whose heads are so far up their own arseholes that if their eyes aren't brown then they ought to be.

Longolier
Mysterious creature that edits or removes old entries on a blog - usually because the entries are embarrassing to the blogger. Longoliers are similar to the Ministry of Truth, in George Orwell's Book 1984, in that they function to falsify history.
Australian journalist and blogger Tim Blair was the first to use "Longoliers" to describe this phenomenon. The term was originally used by author Stephen King to describe beings who devour the past.

Longoliers have been busy in th archives of Little Green Footballs and The Daily Dish as the bloggers have moved from right to left on the political spectrum.
