Ostensibly it means caring about society. Being concerned about the things that are wrong with society such as increasing violent crime, an increasingly stressed health service, the marginalisation of the disadvantaged members of society, the list is pretty much endless; those who are truly socially concerned then try to do something about it. Unfortunately as in the case of the chattering classes the socially concerned individuals only pay lip-service to whatever cause is fashionable and they do sfa.
Most so-called socially concerned just talk about the latest fashionable cause, they don’t actually do anything to help.

Get the Socially Concerned mug.In German it stands for Bayerische Motoren Werke but also Bersten Mal Wieder or broken down again. In English the equivalent is Bavarian Motor Works and Bought Mainly by Wankers, but also Big-up My Willy, the slightly racist Black Man’s Wheels and Badly Made Wreck.
“That fuckwit Malcolm’s bought a Beamer! It’s got a manual shift and he’s only licensed for an automatic!”
Well what do you expect, BMW bought mainly by Wankers!

Get the BMW mug.You’ve guessed it! It’s a place where you go to hibernate; somewhere to go in winter to get away from petty annoyances, destressify and catch up on sleep. Too good to be true? Yeah, it probably is.

Get the Hibernacle mug.Originally US Army slang, it was used as a term of contempt for a non-combat soldier. The term, derived from the Gaelic 'Póg' meaning arse, carries with it an implication of unmanliness, homosexuality, even paedophilia, since Hershey bars and other types of candy are known as ‘pogue bait’. Demonstrating the complete contempt of the combat soldier for any kind of REMF, it was probably first used troops of Irish descent but quickly became widespread as unpopular WASP officers would not know what it meant.
In Gaelic one use of the word would be in the phrase ‘Póg mo thóin’ (pronounced pogue mahone) meaning 'kiss my arse'

That pedo journalist out here on assignment is stockin' up on pogue bait again.
That pogue, REMF, asswipe wrote me up when he caught me jerking off in the latrine!

Get the Pogue mug.CNA stands for Certified Nursing Assistant or Certified Nurse Aid. These are people who are underpaid, frequently unappreciated and provide back-up and support to doctors and nurses. They are the people who do the menial or unpleasant jobs people don’t think about which, if they weren't done would make the patient’s life intolerable. They carry out this work without fuss or drama and usually bright, cheerful and efficient. They are often treated with disdain by nurses and frequently berated by patients; despite this they do their work without complaint. Unkindly referred to as 'Cleaners of Nasty Arses' their work is essential to the effective running of both hospitals and care institutions.
“What was it like in hospital?”
“Dire! A right bunch of miserable bastards except for this CNA. She was always friendly and cheerful, I’d have gone nuts but for her. When I left I gave her a bunch of flowers, just to say thanks like, I thought for a minute she was going to cry, she was so surprised.”

Get the CNA mug.An alternative name for a dog; it doesn’t matter if it’s a pedigree or a mongrel, it comes from the old saying “a dog is a machine for turning food into dog and dog shit, but once it’s full grown it doesn’t produce dog anymore.” Strictly speaking it’s not the dogs’ fault but is due to irresponsible owners who fail to clean up after their animals.

Get the Shit Machine mug.As can be gathered from the expression, it indicates a state of intense anger and annoyance, so much so that the person making the threat is ready, willing and able to inflict physical pain and degradation upon the person who has annoyed them. While it may not literally result in the removal of the offenders head and defecating into the stump, it will usually result in physical violence and a humbling of the person who caused the offence.
The expression that is believed to have originated with the British Royal Navy. It gradually became used within all branches of the armed forces and later spread to the civilian organisations associated with them before obtaining wider usage.
