A phrase chanted to give a player luck when playing games of chance, like when rolling dice. Comes from the 80's game show Press Your Luck, in which unlucky timing could give the player a Whammy, which would lose them all their money.
A game developed in the early 2000's in Sheffield, England that involves a foam baseball bat and a sofa. The idea of the game is to jump into the sofa with the baseball bat and make the loudest noise possible whilst still in the air. The strike on the sofa must be completed before any part of the body touches the sofa. The winner is the competitor who produces the loudest noise
The name of the game originated from 'whamming' the sofa with the foam bat

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.
