Cribbed this thread idea from another site as some of the replies had me in stitches..

Some of the ones I've come out with(or think I have) that have caught on with mates over the years are:

"Billy Years" Term of abuse for someone who is taking their time doing something.. As in "C'mon, Billy Years!"..must have been derived from Billy No Mates I guess..
Minor Celeb / Units of time derived-spin offs from this such as C'mon "Alan Weeks" and "Gary Owers" also caught on for a bit..

"Bent as a bottle of crisps" - nonsensical "nine bob note" derived skit..

"Jimmy!" whilst rubbing your chin: Jimmy Hill- based schoolday taunt when someone doesn't seem to be telling the truth (Don't think I invented this TBH though!)

C.F.P.I.F.'s - Crap Fat People In Fleeces - Derogatory term for the people who tend to populate our local shopping centre..

Obviously, you had to be there with these.. but I'm sure you've all coined some better ones!

the jimmy thing is derived from "chinny reck-on", which is the rubbing of the chin, Jimmy stylee. Seem to recall that Rob Newman and/or David Baddiel made some claim about inventing it whilst at at school, might br wrong though.

C.F.P.I.F.'s = rather nice, but a bit of a mouthfull, and I'd say that "chavs" would have superceded it

CD ROM ??

Bit of a geeky one, but me and my brother used to dub anyone short and ugly/odd looking "super deformed" after the Manga/videogame style (characters with small bodies and huge heads) and call shortarses "Legomen" (think they called them "Fisher Price men" in The Office)

D.K.1

I didn't invent this, but 'gimp' makes me giggle

the moose

"Whittington", used as a verb, meaning 'to turn around'.

Usually applies when you're desperately late, your mapreader has lost their place, you're heading through the wrong end of town, and neither wants to admit that they haven't got a flipping clue.

Mrs Moose: "So, shall we do a Whittington?" = look, I've ****ed up big time, I know it, YOU know it, but no teddies from prams

Me "Whittington, you reckon?" = oops, might have been going a bit fast through those tricky-to-navigate bits ..... probably my fault that we're lost

Either way, it entered the Moose lexicon a decade or so back, and it's now firmly established.

gregjd

Like it.. Usually teddies out of prams with Me and my Mrs in that scenario!

Nexuas

"Useful"

Rather than calling someone a ****, you refer to them as being useful, as ***** have their uses?

gregjd

A women has "been around" has also been dubbed as having "a hairy mary like a welly top" round our way.. not sure how much this is in widespread use

Jer

Chugger

These people who stop you in the street with the bibs asking you to give to Greenpeace or whatever charity every month.

Charity Mugger = Chugger

not me who made it up but I thought it was quite good.

Poor Guy

fuhz-ugly-basser friendly insult between friends (hybrid of ****ing ugly *******)
a bit Norman - meaning a bit crazy as in Norman Bates.

sleeka

Scrag

Can be used for almost anything.......Am gonna scrag that last muffin=gonna HAVE that last muffin, or........You scrag=You fool
Make your own meanings for it, seems to be a word that can be used for most things.

Krade

Cant remeber where Iheard this:

"Life is like a **** sandwich, the more bread you got the less **** you have to eat."

I'm pretty sure that I made up
"could've, should've, would've never made a difference"
But I may be wrong

Abdabz

The word Merrrrrrrrrrrrr was created at BBQ as a word used as a noun verb or adjective by a good friend of mine in the following beer esque ways:
Tonight I am going to get merred
Lets go the pub to purchase some merr juice
Or simply when drunk "merrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr".
When written on a blackboard in a pub on the grassmarket in Edinburgh last year, it baffled the entire pub - but with a but of luck it will follow in the footsteps of 'minging' etc for which alas I cannot claim any copyright on...

Right I'm off to fill myself with merrrr and will return once merrrred...

bloke i knew used "flange" for woman. he'd be driving along and suddenly remark "man, look at that flange over there..."

he had hundreds of other terms for women which i have now forgotten.

mj

flange is as old as the hills classic saying, used more to describe the furburger itsef than the woman ( woman-aka life support machine for a fanny ), its one of those words thats sounds like the thing its describing, a bit like burp.

Another term I used to hear for the vag was "mather & platt", you don't need to be einstein to work out what it rymes with - mather & platt incidently were a pipe&fitting supplier that sold flanges

a lad I used to work with called homo's fartknockers - never heard it anywhere else though - anyone else?

camk

Danny Boy.....we seem to use it when refering to a BJ, probably ot do with dodgy Kareoke singers

camk

I can personally claim a corporate saying that 12 months after I first said it the CIO used it in an interview on TV. I once accused the US guys of presenting "Hollywood Savings " , a year later our CIO used the phrase on some TV interview boasting that the recent 'scheme' was not Hollywood Savings....Big US Corporation with over 150,000 employees...used to hear it all the time after that. We used to just pish ourselves laughing

Spoon

Spoon, hence my nickname.

Started using it in 1996 well before the DJ was on the scene.

It came about after a pal of mine did something and I went to call him a spáz, then a loon but it came out Spoon.

Since that day we have always referred to each other as "Spoon" and even a local radio station shouts it out between tracks in exactly the same tone and the term can be heard out and about now too.

But I'm claiming it unless others can enlighten me, with proof of course.

Stupid but fact.

the moose

In the same vein, I propagated the use of a phrase when working at a very large US-owned automotive group.

"sidebar", used ironically, meaning not even slightly important.

We were in the longest of turgid budget video-meetings, and one guy was boring for America, when one of our people interjected.

"Let's take that off-line" was the response.

British blokey didn't want to do that, so insisted that it was important. The American chap responded with "that's a sidebar issue".

Britsh guy STILL didn't want to give in, so our American colleage came out with the immortal "it's important, but we have to take it off line - let's just step that up to a sidebar meeting, shall we?" It was clear from his tone that, sure, he'd have the meeting, but then ignore whatever was said.

"Sidebarring" subsequently became a euphemism for the organisation of pointless meetings where nothing got decided, and whose whole existence was solely determined to prove that it had, in fact, taken place as an ****-covering exercise.

I first used "Spoon" whilst I was at school in the late 80s. It meant something pointless, like a spoon which is round-ish. Hence the name.

Spoon

Bollócks, prove it!!!

Mice_Elf

Uhhhm...uhhhm.... LOL

My brothers and circle of friends use it too? LOL. uhmmmm.....

Buzzer

Who invented Munter........PMSL when i hear that

........................or Wizards Sleeve (referring to the female genetalia)

BOB.T

Shuddadundintdo = I should of done it / that but didn't

or you can have,

Shuddagonedintdo = For when you could of pulled out of a junction but bottled it at the last minute

PS it helps if you say them really fast

Buzzer

I thought it was if you "Spooned" a shot at goal (ie missed an easy shot) you were deemed to be a "spooner" therefore to "spoon" means to miss

gyfto (get your f#####g t#ts out)

Mice_Elf

And there's the obvious - "Spoonerism"...

wrxtankie

I call ugly birds HIPOCROCODILLAPIGS makes me laugh, even if they dont
