Croatalin's definitions
A word used to describe the attitude of Londoners who seem incapable of realising that places other than London even exist. It describes the attitude that London is the centre of the universe and that anywhere else in the country or even the rest of the world is unimportant and not worthy of their attention. In short it describes people whose heads are so far up their own arseholes that if their eyes aren't brown then they ought to be.

Get the londoncentric mug.This expression originated with the British Royal Navy from the time of the wooden sailing ships. Storage of food aboard these vessels was quite primitive and foodstuffs were subject to attack by the numerous rats living on them. Frequently food, or other stores, would be destroyed by rats or so contaminated by them as to be totally unusable, the crew would then say that whatever had been destroyed had 'gone to rat shit'.
The expression became common in the Royal Dockyards where its use expanded to mean anything that had become broken or unusable whatever the cause. The use of the expression further expanded to mean someone who had changed from being a pleasant person to an unpleasant, grouchy bastard, or someone whose health was beginning to fail.

Malcolm's made another major fuck-up with the website, it's all gone to rat shit.
Yeah, when Sally told him about it, he screamed at her like it was her fault! He never was very nice, but now he's really gone to rat shit.
Malcolm's gone to see his doctor again, he really has gone to rat shit.

Get the Gone to rat shit 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.There are a number of definitions to this phrase, two of the commonest being:
1) A person who exhibits abnormal behaviour, this can vary from mild eccentricity to full-blown, froth at the mouth insanity. The degree to which the person is a whack job is usually given by qualifiers to the phrase. Mild eccentricity would be indicated by saying the person was 'a bit of a whack job' stronger symptoms of eccentricity and the person would be 'a proper whack job'. If the person was seriously insane then they would be 'a total, out-and-out, raving whack job'.
2) A professional killing, also known as a hit. The whack part comes from the victim being killed (whacked), the job from the fact that this is done for payment by a professional (it's his or her job).

Get the Whack Job 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.It's a toilet, or rather the room containing the toilet. It's from a 19th Century Cockney word 'carsey' meaning a privy, and is itself probably derived from the Italian 'casa' meaning house. Interestingly, the original word 'carsey' could also mean a den or brothel! It does make you wonder what the old Cockneys got up to when they went to the toilet.
Malcolm's been in the karzy for an hour!
Crappin' or five finger shufflin'?
With Malcolm you really don't want to know.

Get the Karzy mug.Unlike WASP, this is s British acronym standing for Waste Of Space Prick (sometimes Prat or Pillock) and is usually applied to someone who is so monumentally stupid that they don't even realise they're stupid.
Malcolm's done it again! He got sent some malware and, instead of isolating it, he copied it to everybody, now the system is down for three days while it's cleaned out!
