This thread is just humbug, sheer and utter bunkum!

I would say this thrice, but my view isn't worth thruppence!

This is the mirth of anti-social scallywags!

I found out this morning, to my cost, that a 'golden shower' is not a 'thought shower' of exceptional intellectual quality.

Was chatting to a friend last night who has a bike shop. Seems some Geordie lads were in at the weekend on their way to a "finger buffet" in Edinburgh. They seemed quite excited at the prospect of lots of little sandwiches. How odd. (apologies if NSFW I don't dare google it)

Its a site dedicated to preserving words which are falling out of usage.

You can 'Adopt' a word and promise to use it and cherish it etc...

belm - accompanied by the act of stuffing the tongue down between the lower, front teeth and the bottom lip whilst taking care to keep the lips together.

meaning: 'you, sir, are a liar'

not only can it be used as a noun, ie. you belmer, but it's also a verb so can be conjugated, which in itself is another word of unutterable delight.

'Belm' is of a similar vintage to 'chinny reckon'...

DEFENESTRATE

We should definitely resurrect this; it's a tradition, or an old charter, or something.

Rapscallion has a certain rhythmic cadence. Possibly twinned with the rather wonderful Miscreant mentioned earlier.

Aplomb
Smite.
Nare-do-well.
Forsooth. (not sure of the spelling)
Post-haste.
I like furious, when used to describe speed rather than mood.
And I chuckle at being refered to as a Gentile.

ahh it's just started to mizzle here.

Would you be able to use frottage with decolletage in the same sentence?

I'm disappointed that no one has put forward 'poppycock'. A word that I associate with bow-tie wearing professor types but which always makes me smile...

Berk is one that I've started using again to great acclaim (from my gf).
Merkin I do quite like.
Parochial I tend to drop into conversation, but I wish I could use peripatetic more often. Or even remember what it means
