AKACroatalin's definitions
British acronym standing for Arrogant Obnoxious Bastard. Associated with the term Any Other Business, it refers to the people who tend to raise things when this item is reached on the agenda. They are usually in love with the sound of their own voice, won't take direction from the Chair and have a total disregard for the commitments of the other people at the meeting. Their pet subject is usually minor and could be put on the agenda of the next meeting, yet despite its unimportance they continue to drone on about it at interminable length leaving the other members of the meeting contemplating the validity of justifiable homicide.
"Malcolm's droning on about de-humidifiers again."
"That AOB! If he lost half his body mass his fat ass wouldn't sweat so much!"

Get the AOB mug.A Spite Monkey is a type of volunteer editor working for Urban Dictionary who, having had a definition rejected, goes into a session to approve new words and rejects anything and everything irrespective of its value. A childish, nasty, little fuckwit whose actions hold back progress and discourage others from contributing. They don't bother looking to see how their definition can be fixed, they just throw all of their toys out of the pram and reject everyone else's definitions.
"I've had four sound definitions rejected by Urban Dictionary, I'm not sure why."
" Don't worry about it, it's probably just some American spite monkey who doesn't understand English!"

Get the Spite Monkey mug.British slang from the 1950s thought to have originated in East Anglia and meaning a lesbian. The word oonch is thought to have derived from the dialect pronunciation of 'conch' and was used as a slang name for the vagina due to the resemblance of the opening of the female genitalia to the opening of a conch shell. Thus a lesbian became an oonch fancier.

Get the Crimp Off A Length mug.Awkward Squad is the name given to that group of people in any organisation who cause problems and difficulties. They are apparently normal, everyday human beings, but when they get together, things just go wrong. They are not necessarily troublemakers, although in some instances they can be, but some strange synergy causes things to go wrong in their collective presence.
The origin of the word dates back to just after the Second World War when National Service was compulsory in Britain for males over the age of eighteen. This meant that all sorts of people, some of whom were totally unsuited to military service, were inducted into the armed forces. That they were unsuitable quickly became apparent, and they tended to be grouped together to keep the clumsy, the unwilling, the careless and troublesome in one unit which became known as the awkward squad
