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!

schafernaker

When swearing at somebody behind their back,
Then when they turn around to look at you, pretending to do something else with your hands; such as scratching your face.

The very first person to do a schafernaker, was Thomas Schafernaker; BBC weatherman.

Whilst making rude gestures to the news reporter, camera flicks to him live, as soon as he realises he is on air, pulls an amazing schafernaker!!
I told Bob to stop messing around and do his work! When I turned round he Schafernaker'd me!!

Schafernaker scale 

A cult scale that some British gay men use to assess the cuteness or 'hotness' of a potentially attractive man in their presence. It runs from zero to ten.

The scale is named after gay sex-symbol, the Polish-born BBC meteorologist Tomasz Schafernaker. The scale his named after him, since his cuteness is commonly considered to be beyond 10.
"Brad Pitt gets a 10 on the Schafernaker scale from me"
"You're not wrong there... whereas Gordon Brown or John McCririck would get 0 from me"

Person with old fashioned ideas which he is unwilling to change: Come to the disco and stop being such an old fogey!
You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
