An alternative spelling for heel. The word itself is usually applied to someone who is a total tosser, waste of space or OIC and derives from the British upper class pronounciation of 'hole' (heale) an abbreviation of the word 'arsehole' (awseheale). It was used by upper classes as an 'in' word to describe people they didn't like, social climbers, nouveau riche and so on who wouldn't know what it meant. It gained wider usage due to the internet and period dramas so more and more people found out what it meant and began using it. It's major use now is when some upper class twit, or someone who thinks thay are, wants to pile on the agony and uses it about someone knowing that they will overhear or that it will get back to them and that they know what it means.
I say Samantha, that dreadful creature Malcolm something-or-other is positively fawning over everyone?
Oh God! What a complete heale!

Get the Heale mug.To be greased means to be killed. Originally it meant to be killed by multiple bullet wounds from a weapon fired on full automatic but gradually its use extended, particularly during the Vietnam War, until it was used to describe any death caused by enemy action.
The expression originated from American troops of the Second World War who were armed with the M3 submachine gun. Since the M3's nickname was 'grease gun', supposedly from its resemblance to the mechanics tool, enemy troops killed by the M3 were soon referred to as having been greased.

Get the Greased mug.Originally a medical term, rectalgia is a pain in the rectum, now being applied to people who are a pain in the arse.

Get the Rectalgia mug.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.

Get the BBB mug.Londoncentric means centred on London (the one in the United Kingdom not Kentucky USA). Only achieving wider use during January 2014, it describes the apparent belief, of pundits and prognosticators on the politcal and economic situation in Britain, that what is happening in London applies to the country as a whole.
In an interview on Channel 4 News, Chuka Umunna, Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, used the word Londoncentric when replying to a question concerning the British Government's economic figures.

Get the londoncentric mug.The literal meaning is 'one who eats faeces'; at one time French beef farmers used to feed their cattle human faeces as a cheap food and because the substance contains large amounts of partially digested cellulose, resulting in coprophagic cows. Coprophagic behaviour is also exhibited by dogs under certain conditions, but can be prevented by feeding them tinned pineapple.
The use of the term has expanded, however, to mean a person, can be male or female, who is not very bright but is always smarming round the boss. The sort of behaviour exhibited is laughing excessively at the smallest joke; apparently sharing the same interests and hobbies as the boss; getting the boss tea or coffee without being asked; sending the boss birthday and Christmas cards often with a small gift attached. In short the sort of behaviour that makes you think if the boss crapped on their desk, this person would eat it anbd swear it was ice cream. These people are usually poor performers and it's only their relatioship with the boss that stops them from being potted.
It is quite safe to call these people 'coprophage' to their face as they won't know what it means and won't have the initiative to look it up.

Malcolm's just given the boss a big Christmas card and a present, so I told him he was the perfect coprophage. The twat looked at me as if I'd just paid him a compliment!
You did, nothing about that wanker is perfect.

Get the Coprophage mug.Although usually used as a description of an unpleasant, obnoxious twit or the foot wrappings used in place of socks, it is also used to described dried, salted cod because of its strong unpleasant smell. By extension it was also used to describe other things with a strong unpleasant fishy smell.
Dave, I heard you dumped Millie, I thought you were going to give her one.
Nah! I got her clouts off and her min smelled like a load of old toe rag so I left it.
