CRS

Compagnie Republique de Securite. French riot police. Mainly recruit in the countryside as most riots occur in the town, so they get the opportunity to wop, tear-gas and water-cannon townies.

The Parisians hippies were rioting again, so the CRS went and cracked some skulls.

Irish-American

An American-American whose Great Great Great Grandmother's cousin once wore a green skirt and drank a pint of Guinness.

I spoke to an Irish-American (from Boston of course) and took great pleasure in telling him that my great-grandfather was Irish and involved in the Easter Uprising. It was true, he was Head of his Lodge in the Orange Order and became a section commander in the Black and Tans. He defended his Dublin against the Fenian insurrectionists (note: rising against the lawful government during wartime is punishable by death in most countries) and personally shot some of them.

BMW

Black Man's Wheels.
Overrated cars that are no better than a Vectra/Mondeo/etc, but have "brand cachet" (i.e. gullible fools are prepared to pay a lot more to get the same thing, but with a nicer badge).
The interiors are horrible. Claustrophobic (come up very high at the front) and in a really nasty grey/blue plastic.
Often driven by accountants, sales reps and estate agents, which says it all...
BMW dealers treat their customers like scum and have their hands in their customers' pockets at every opportunity.
Don't even touch the X3 or X5 SUVs for towing a horsebox. You would be better off getting the horse to tow the car out of a wet field of grass!

Idiot: I have a brand new BMW 325i.
Me: When will you have paid for this toy?
Idiot: Ehhh, about 10 years after I die.
Me: Enjoy...

internet expert

A form of armchair expert who gains all their knowledge from the internet and then enlightens others on social media. The accuracy of their source information may be suspect, their analysis and conclusions are likely flawed, but they will shout down anyone who dares to challenge their expertise in the field.

In an online discussion of tractors on a newspaper website I posted that a problem with modern tractors was that a fault with the electronics could stop them dead and require a technician with a laptop to fix. An Internet Expert informed me that it was always possible for a modern tractor to "limp home" however bad the failure "in his experience".

I pointed out that I was a farmer and that for example on a Massey 5465 with Dyna 4 the gear selection is electronic, the rear hydraulics are electronic and a fault in either could strand a tractor in the middle of a field (no power or stuck anchored to the ground by a harrow or plough). The Internet Expert went very quiet!

breeders

Breeders are those that choose to have children and get state handouts, extra days off work, preference for choosing their holidays, all at the expense of us who choose not to breed.

I don't want to see photos of your ugly off spring, hear about how clever/funny/cute they are and I certainly don't appreciate you passing their infections on to me.

Trap

Toilet cubicle in Rolls-Royce. So called because they used to have trapdoors in the door at head height for foremen (supervisors) to open and check who was inside.

Don't use the third trap along, someone has spattered all up the walls.
