Forgetful, silly.
Born in 1978, Hilversum, The Netherlands. First used by UK-based employees of Philips Telecommunications (employed at Malmesbury in Wiltshire, UK).
On a business trip to Philips Telecommunications headquarters, some time between January and April 1978, a colleague of mine arrived in his hotel in Hilversum (The Hilvershof), unpacked his suitcase and found he'd left his briefcase at home. Looking around the hotel room, he located a suitable plastic bag and proceeded to use this to carry work-related items to and from work for the duration of his trip.
The bag bore the legend "waszak" - the Dutch word(s) for "laundry bag". Henceforth, anyone doing anything thoughtless was called "waszak" and a new word entered the English language.
How forgetful - you waszak!

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
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.
