Get the Sycophancymug. British acronym standing for Born Again Biker. A person, usually a male in their forties or fifties, who goes through some sort of life crisis and buys themselves a huge, expensive motorcycle together with loads of expensive gear and takes to the road in an attempt to capture their lost youth. This is invariably unsuccessful and many get over it after twelve to eighteen months, some unlucky ones, however, become traffic accident statistics.

Get the BABmug. Deriving from the tag 'Manna for the mind' used to describe books and literature, 'Manna for the mindless' is a disparaging but accurate description of banal entertainment of any sort, particularly daytime television, long running soaps, stupid game shows, chat shows and so on. It consists of material that is so dumb it doesn't require 'dumbing down' and is no more than prdigested pap which can be understood by people with a below normal IQ. Before the advent of twenty-four seven television manna for the mindless was typified by the Hollywood musical of the 1950s. These consisting entirely of eminently forgettable songs joined together by crappy dialogue and a plot so thin you could shoot peas through it.
"Kim, d'you want to come out for a walk?"
"No, I've got to watch Jeremy Kyle!"
"Manna for the mindless!"
"No, I've got to watch Jeremy Kyle!"
"Manna for the mindless!"

Get the Manna for the mindlessmug. US Army slang, a derogatory name for a non-combat soldier. The term carries with it an implication of unmanliness, homosexuality, even paedophilia, since Hershey bars and other types of candy are known as ‘pogue bait’, illustrating the contempt of the combat soldier for any kind of REMF.
Derived from the Gaelic 'Póg' meaning arse it possibly came to be used originally by American troops of Irish descent but quickly became widespread. In Gaelic one use of the word would be in the phrase ‘Póg mo thóin’ (pronounced pogue mahone) meaning 'kiss my arse'.

That swish REMF from Headquarters is stockin' up on pogue bait again.
That pogue ground pounder wrote me up when he caught me takin' a hit of some Cambodian!

Get the Poguemug. British army slang acronym from just after the Second World War and stands for Balls, Bum and Armpits. This referred to the areas washed when speed is of the essence or water in short supply, somewhat similar to an airplane bath. Extremely common during the 1950s when National Service was compulsory for all British males between the ages of 17 and 21, the BBA was reintroduced to the public conciousness by author Jonathan Gash in his Lovejoy novels.

Get the BBAmug. There are a number of different ways in which this word can be used, besides being an informal name for female genitalia*, it can be used in at least two other ways:
1) A derogatory name for a person you intensely dislike;
2) As an acronym standing variously for Computer User Non-Technical, Cannot Understand New Technology, Cannot Utilise Normal Thinking.
No doubt there are others as well, but those mentioned here all share a common theme in that the person described is a bit of a twat.
*For some reason this is now perceived to be offensive, but during the Middle Ages in Britain it was a word in common use indeed, it still remains in some street names e.g. Gropecunt Lane.
