Croatalin's definitions
This expression originated with the British Royal Navy from the time of the wooden sailing ships. Storage of food aboard these vessels was quite primitive and foodstuffs were subject to attack by the numerous rats living on them. Frequently food, or other stores, would be destroyed by rats or so contaminated by them as to be totally unusable, the crew would then say that whatever had been destroyed had 'gone to rat shit'.
The expression became common in the Royal Dockyards where its use expanded to mean anything that had become broken or unusable whatever the cause. The use of the expression further expanded to mean someone who had changed from being a pleasant person to an unpleasant, grouchy bastard, or someone whose health was beginning to fail.

Get the Gone to rat shit mug.A word used to describe the attitude of Londoners who seem incapable of realising that places other than London even exist. It describes the attitude that London is the centre of the universe and that anywhere else in the country or even the rest of the world is unimportant and 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.

Get the londoncentric mug.A noun describing a male, can be child or adult, who adores his Mother and who seems to have no desire to cut the apron strings.

Get the Razzle mug.A predatory female who is sexually active. This does not necessarily mean she is a nymphomaniac but that when she sees a male she wants she is single-minded in her pursuit. There are occasions when she does not desire male company and like the tiger leads a solitary existence as she does not usually have many female friends. When she gets a man into her bed she displays a huge appetite for sex and is enthusiastic in her application. She was celebrated in the 1969 song by The Move 'Wild Tiger Woman'.
