Schafernakar

This phrase has come about after the latest TV blooper from BBC weatherman Tomasz Schafernakar. He was seen giving the one finger salute to the newsreader just before his weather bulletin and to try and cover it up he did this hilarious hand gesture after the 'one finger salute' to hide the fact he'd sworn on air. You would use the word to describe a person having a fit or spak-attack at something they're not happy with.
I refused to pay the guy and he had a total schafernakar at me!

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
