What are the regional/local slang terms for all the hideous facets of life where you come from? Any funny ones? No subject is too ***** - just stick to the Board rules.
I'll be posting as and when. Here are two for starters:
"net pet" n. Amongst the sort of people who habituate internet chatrooms, Second Life and the like, a boyfriend or girlfriend with whom many hours are spent flirting without ever actually meeting in the flesh. A useful rule of thumb is that a sexually adventurous, blonde, 18-year old "net pet" from the Home Counties will, more often than not, turn out to be a toothless 50-year old Tennessee hillbilly with his mum in the fridge and a suit made of fannies.
"Tokyo optician" n. A slag. Someone who has seen more than their fair share of japs' eyes.
etc.
