STRAC

US Army slang commonly used during the Vietnam War; it probably originated during World War II and stands for STRictly ACcording (to regulations). It was an epithet applied to officers and NCOs who 'go by the book' and seem totally unable to think for themselves. It describes the military equivalent of a Jobsworth, frequently linked with REMF.

"That STRAC REMF insists on a formal parade before we go out into the boonies to hunt Charlie."

Drunk Chivalry

Refraining from having sex with a female while you are both suffering from the effects of overindulgence in alcohol. Most cases like that are usually described as brewer’s droop or beerdick. Perhaps the person who came up with the idea that this is down to morals, ethics or willpower should remember the old saying a standing cock has no conscience and leave the bullshit to the politicians.

“Sally and I got ratassed last night; she was gagging for it, but I didn’t do anything.”
“Drunk chivalry?”
“Nah, brewer’s droop.”

ACT

ACT is an acronym standing for Action Counters Terror. It is believed that it originated either with the military or the emergency services, where personnel are trained to overcome fear and inertia by taking action until this becomes an automatic response. ACT demonstrates that people are capable of really remarkable deeds and that obstacles and difficulties can be beaten when they are confronted. ACT shows that fears and self-doubt can be reduced or eliminated and that forward-looking action can overcome habit and inertia to produce something new and start the process of change.

Don’t procrastinate, ACT!

Toxic workplace

A toxic workplace is somewhere you really don’t want to be as, even if you try to avoid it, you will be dragged into the backstabbing shit that’s going on and it will adversely affect you. It’s a place usually characterised by drama and infighting and where the personal battles between individuals or departments harm productivity. Toxic workplaces are often the result of workers who are, themselves, best described as toxic. These individuals are motivated solely by personal interest, the desire for money, power and status. They will use any means no matter how unethical, mean-spirited or illegal to manipulate the system for their own ends whilst undermining others and diverting attention away from their own shortcomings.

Toxic workplaces have been found to have profoundly adverse effects on the health and wellbeing of the non-toxic people working in them. The best advice if you find yourself working in such an environment, no matter how good the money or benefits, get out as quickly as possible.

“Malcolm’s crawling round Mark again trying to undermine Nick.”
“That toe-rag really is poisonous; he’s turning this into a real toxic workplace.”

Spite Monkey Niggler

Possibly the worst sort of spite monkey, can be male or female, who is a complete Malcolm, that is petty, vindictive and unpleasant. The females take princess syndrome to a whole new level while the males (if you can call them that) are shit eating brown nosers. The things they do cause problems for other people or are totally pointless, serving no purpose whatsoever except to feed their self-centred vanity. Typical of the pointless, stupid things that they do, is to vote against the top definition in Urban Dictionary just because it is the top definition. They are a stone in the shoe of humanity and should be neutered to prevent any possibility of them breeding, that or sent to a far distant galaxy.

Anyone who votes against top definitions simply because they are top definitions is nothing but shit for brains spite monkey niggler.

Snot Splatter

This happens when you have a severe cold or nasal infection. Your last tissue has disintegrated, your handkerchief is a congealed lump, which should be incinerated to avoid it becoming a hazard to public health, and your nose is blocking up. There is nothing for it but to blow your nose the old-fashioned way. This consists in closing each nostril in turn, with a finger, and snorting vigorously out through the other. The product of this exercise is a snot splatter. Although snot may be a misnomer as the product is usually a mixture of snot, pus and airborne detritus that makes the faecal emissions of a diseased crow’s arse seem positively pleasant in comparison.
It can also be used as a noun to describe the sort of person whose presence makes people instinctively shrink away from them, leave the room as quickly as possible to go through a complete biological decontamination routine.

I snorted out a really noxious snot splatter yesterday; I watched it for a bit to see if it moved, I think it did.

WOFS

English acronym standing for Waste Of Fucking Space. Can be Waste Of Flipping Space if you want to be a bit more polite but is used to describe people who are just that. The ones that seem to have no useful contribution to make to the human race or anything else and make you wonder just where evolution went wrong.

"Malcolm's just been sat on his ass all day, hasn't done a fucking thing except feed his face and drink tea. He hasn't so much as lifted a finger even though the rest of us are run ragged."
"What a WOFS!"
