Barbourian

A wax-jacketed, huntin', fishin' shootin' type, such as me, of the English countryside, who loves to indulge in all things bucolic and preserving of the rural landscape, including killing and eating as much of it as possible. As me, quite possibly ex-Army, wont to driving old Land Rovers, being rather poor and fond of cord trousers and tweed if a chap and nice skirts and floppy straw hats if a chappette.

Not to be confused with the agri-yob, which is a lower caste of countryside dweller altogether.

Not, either, to be confused with Barbar the Elephant.
William Boot, erstwhile and unlikely hero of Waugh's novel Scoop and the writer of "Feather-footed through the plashy fen passes the questing vole", might well be described, by today's standards, as a Barbourian.

Typothermia

makes repeated typographical errors on keyboard (especially on a small keyboard, such as a mobile phone, BlackBerry, iPhone & c

or

cannot use a touch-sensitive screen

or both

because of cold climatic conditions when one's fingers become too numb.
It's so cold that I keep misspelling words as I tweet. Yes, I'm suffering from 'typothermia.'

Shag mile

While the distance travelled by light in a year (a "light year") is a significant measurement, there is one that has greater relevance to most of us: the "shag mile".

The shag mile (noun) is the distance one is prepared to travel in order to have sex.
Imagined SMS exchange*:

A: I am quite enamoured with you.

B: I feel rather passionately disposed towards you.

A: If only...

B: ...we weren't so many shag miles apart?

A: Yes, but it's a measure of my deep-seated lust for you that I will travel around 150 shag miles to see you.

B: I'll be waiting on the bed with my kit off.

*The real exchange would be considerably fruitier than this

pussy whipped

A guy who is easily manipulated by his woman.
Dave's girlfreind bitched at him until he bought the new Maroon 5 CD, dressed in his new jeans and went to Haagen-Dazs with her so she could feel better.

Culturepreneur

Another bastardised nouveau noun, this time "culture" and "entrepreneur".

It is, according to the website of a marketing and promotions company as "…the dialogue between the arts and business."

Hateful, and it has me reaching for my pistol.
Perhaps the Saatchi Brothers are good exemplars of "culturepreneurs".
