Tiger Woman

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'.

Ginny's all over Ray like a rash!
Yeah! The tiger woman stalking her prey.

Pavement Fairy

British Navy slang dating from around the First World War. A Pavement Fairy is the name for a prostitute or woman of easy virtue. The pavement part comes from these women having 'beats' on the pavement of a particular street, whilst the fairy has nothing to do with homosexualirty, but possibly derives from Cinderella's Fairy Godmother who makes wishes come true.
There's a rude version of the Irish folk song 'The Spanish Lady' that mentions it:

As I walked into Plymouth City,
Union Street it was late at night,
There did I see a pavement fairy
Washing her snatch in the pale moonlight,
First she washed it then she dried it
Over a fire of red hot coal
In all my life I ne'er did see
So much singed hair round a dirty great hole.

Joe's out on the razzle tonight, but he's goin' for the pavement fairy first before he gets too pissed.

WOSP

Unlike WASP, this is s British acronym standing for Waste Of Space Prick (sometimes Prat or Pillock) and is usually applied to someone who is so monumentally stupid that they don't even realise they're stupid.

Malcolm's done it again! He got sent some malware and, instead of isolating it, he copied it to everybody, now the system is down for three days while it's cleaned out!
What a WOSP

Karzy

It's a toilet, or rather the room containing the toilet. It's from a 19th Century Cockney word 'carsey' meaning a privy, and is itself probably derived from the Italian 'casa' meaning house. Interestingly, the original word 'carsey' could also mean a den or brothel! It does make you wonder what the old Cockneys got up to when they went to the toilet.

Malcolm's been in the karzy for an hour!
Crappin' or five finger shufflin'?
With Malcolm you really don't want to know.

Boracic

Having no money. The expression derives from the Cockney rhyming slang 'boracic lint' which rhymes with skint signifying that the person has no money.

You comin' down the pub, Tel?
Nah mate, I'm boracic.

BBB

Acronym standing for Bullshit Baffles Brains. There is some truth in this as highly persuasive people can influence highly intelligent people (Parliamentary lobby groups are a case in point). This is achieved by representing their arguments as reasonable, the view of the vast majority of people, the only sensible course and by securing the support of other people, groups or organisations. All that is required for the BBB effect to take hold and to avoid scrutiny is for there to be no direct challenge to the assertions of the bullshitter.

NOTE: In 1945 a British 'A' Class submarine, HMS Aurochs, was launched. The submarine's motto was 'Excreta Tauri Sapientam Fulgeat' which translates as 'a bull's excrement can fool a wise man' or Bullshit Baffles Brains. From this we know that the acronym must have been in widespread use during and before the Second World War.

Malcolm's cocked things up again and he's flooding the boss with as much jargon as he can think of to try to justify it.
Yeah that's our Malcolm hoping that BBB.

Mojo

Mojo means your influence, confidence or personal charisma. It was originally a slang term from the US associated with the music and dance culture, but has entered the English as well as the American language and is being used more widely. It has also taken on an additional meaning of personal confidence and charisma with regard to sexual relationships. The word Mojo itself probably derives from African-American language where it refers to a personal talisman or witchcraft charm, and is itself derived from the word Moco used by the Gullah people meaning witchcraft. The word First received widespread exposure in the 1957 recording of the song Got My Mojo Working by Muddy Waters.

I pulled a really essence bird last night, my mojo was working overtime.
