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.

BBA

British army slang acronym from just after the Second World War and stands for Balls, Bum and Armpits. This referred to the areas washed when speed is of the essence or water in short supply, somewhat similar to an airplane bath. Extremely common during the 1950s when National Service was compulsory for all British males between the ages of 17 and 21, the BBA was reintroduced to the public conciousness by author Jonathan Gash in his Lovejoy novels.

Right, a quick BBA and I'm off on the piss!

Anosmia

Anosmia means having no sense of smell. If you have anosmia, you can't smell flowers, perfume, or home cooking, which can lead to sufferers becoming intensely depressed. There could be some advantages; when some diseased arsehole lets go a really poisonous fart you won't smell it, even though everyone else has tears in their eyes from trying not to puke. Similarly if you are stuck in a boring lecture next to someone whose BO is blistering the paintwork and has everyone else thinking that there's a malfunction in the sewage works you won't be bothered. On the whole, though, anosmia is pretty shit.

Malcolm suffers from anosmia, he must do, otherwise how does he live with himself?

Namby-pamby

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. Although not always overtly homosexual they tend to have feminine mannerisms and interests and are overly sensitive to criticism and the reactions of others to them. In short a total wuss or the worst sort of softy.

Georgie's taking flowers and chocolates to his Mother again; that's the third time this week.
Is she ill?
No, he's always doing that.
Namby-pamby twat!
