Huffle-Buffs

It should be pointed out right away that huffle-buffs are totally different to huckle bucks. Huffle-buffs are old, warm, comfortable clothes that you put on when you want to relax. These are suitable for wear in your hibernacle.

I’m feeling dormative so I’m going to wear my huffle-buffs and chill for the whole of next week.

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.

1 In an interview on Channel 4 News, January 2014 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.

2 Since he was moved to HQ, Malcolm has become really londoncentric.

Once too often

If you do something once too often it means that you have repeated an action which is bad, stupid or dangerous with an unpleasant end result. So you end up looking a complete wanker, in A & E with serious injuries or someone is totally pissed off with you to an extent which is going to be detrimental to your health and wellbeing.

He’s pissed them off once too often, they’re going to put the fucker on crutches.

Spite Monkey Attack

This is an action that usually takes place on Spite Monkey Sunday, some little prat decides that they can best get their self-aggrandising definition accepted by making multiple submissions. They then decide to try to improve their chances by voting against any other definition that has been submitted, a typical demonstration of the spite monkey mentality. The end result of their self-centred, immature nastiness is to effectively bring Urban Dictionary to a standstill.

What’s happening on Urban Dictionary, nothing’s moving? Must be a spite monkey attack.

Clouts

This is quite old slang but still used occasionally in the South-West of England. It derives from cloths or clothes and refers to a woman’s knickers, drawers or panties. It is quite disparaging and is used to described undergarments of the baggy Bridget Jones type or things so foul, tattered and disgusting that they should be classified as a health hazard

Her clouts were so foul, they practically had a life of their own

Namby-pamby

A namby-pamby (plural namby-pambies) is someone, usually a male, who is overly weak, sentimental or indecisive. It was a play on the name of Ambrose Philips, who wrote sickeningly sentimental poems for children. The nickname was devised by Henry Carey, a poet and songwriter, who wrote “God Save the Queen” and “My Country ‘tis of Thee”. It was popularized, however, by Alexander Pope in his satirical epic “The Dunciad”. It can also be used as an adjective meaning weak or spineless, lacking vigour or decisiveness, and overly sentimental.

The poet Ambrose Philips was the original Namby-Pamby.

Fart Fact 2

Only 1% of your fart actually smells! Even that little SBD you sneaked out that had everyone in the room wondering if the sewage works had broken down, even that was 99% of that was odourless gases like carbon dioxide, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and methane. The 1% that smells is hydrogen sulphide and when you consider just how bad farts can smell it should come as no surprise that hydrogen sulphide is poisonous. It was even considered as a poison gas during WW1 but was too easily detected (the smell, of course).

“Malcolm’s just caused a major pollution event.”
“Let another one go has he?”
“He must be producing more than 1%, it’s contradicting Fart Fact 2!”
