lead differential

The awkward situation faced by many dog walkers crossing paths when one is on a lead, the other isnt (although many variants are possible with more than one dog per owner.)

The dog owner who has not put their dog on a lead is worried that the owner who has put their dog on a lead is cosidering them to not be in adequate control of their animal.

Likewise the owner who has their dog on a lead may feel they are not giving the dog enough freedom.

Normally resolves itself in one of 3 ways.

1. The non leaded dog owner says 'He's friendly' and the comment is confirmed by the dogs behaviour.

2. The non leaded dog annoys the leaded dog, the leaded dog owner expressed disapproval and apologies are made usually ('Hes normally SOOOOOO friendly!')

3. The owner of the non leaded dog puts their dog on a lead.
-To dog, as if it can understand, while putting lead on it.-

'Sorry mate. Lead differential!'

Facebook Friend Faction Management

The phrase to describe a situation where you have a large number of facebook 'friends,' some of whom know things about you that they could post that you do not want other friends to know about.

This is a situation best managed by having the correct privacy settings, deleting some of your friends off Facebook and not initiating any posts yourself, thereby preventing a situation where a friend reveals a fact about you that you do not wish someone else knowing about.
Oh sh*t! The surprise party for Fiona will be no surprise if i dont delete that post I made with the comment from Dave about bringing the drinks on Thursday! Time for some Facebook Friend Faction Management!

bank holiday bob

A dull, middle aged man who works long hours and therefore for whom a bank holiday is one of a few days off they get in a year. As a result, despite rarely venturing outside their home town for most of the year, feel obliged to go on a day or weekend trip to a hackneyed tourist destination like Blackpool or Rhyl for the day even if the weather is awful. Usually found in a traffic jam with a Bingo Maud (not yet defined) on the M6 in a Fiat Uno, often towing a caravan.
