Grizzling is a particularly repulsive form of crying; usually done by children but sometimes by adults particularly molly piss men. It's a thoroughly unpleasant whinging, whining, bout of self-pity accompanied by oceans of tears, a swollen face and large dribbles of snot. The person doing the grizzling expects sympathy and hugs but should be kept beyond arms reach with a forked vermin stick and consigned to a distant planet at the earliest opportunity.

British Army slang in use before the Second World War, a sand rat is a whore, hooker or prostitute in a seaside town. They became known as sand rats because, like rats, they only came out after dark and would take their clients down to the beach for sex on the sand.
A British squaddie going on leave might say to his mates, "Right, I've got me 'water wings and calamine' and I'm off to play with the sand rats."
Note Water wings and calamine referred to condoms and barrier cream issued to soldiers to try to reduce the risk of them contracting STD.

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.
