Anosmia

Anosmia means having no sense of smell. If you have anosmia, you can't smell flowers, perfume, or home cooking, which can lead to sufferers becoming intensely depressed. There could be some advantages; when some diseased arsehole lets go a really poisonous fart you won't smell it, even though everyone else has tears in their eyes from trying not to puke. Similarly if you are stuck in a boring lecture next to someone whose BO is blistering the paintwork and has everyone else thinking that there's a malfunction in the sewage works you won't be bothered. On the whole, though, anosmia is pretty shit.

Malcolm suffers from anosmia, he must do, otherwise how does he live with himself?

BBB

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.

diddy bopping

To walk using dance steps; in the Vietnam War it was used to mean walking carelessly whilst on patrol, to move through enemy territory without paying attention to your surroundings and thus putting the other members of the patrol at risk.
By extension to move or act without considering the effect on others.

Number ten! You gonna k-bar the fucker?

Molly Piss

British Westcountry slang for an ineffectual male. The epithet carries with it implications that the recipient is also impotent, effeminate and incompetent. The origin is unclear, perhaps deriving from the expression 'not worth Molly's piss' meaning to be of no account or worthless, although who Molly was we'll never know.

Malcolm's got all emotional again 'cos he can't get the computer to work, says it's something technical.
Did he plug it in?
No, but he threatened to raise a grievance against me 'cos I laughed at him!
What a Molly Piss!
