Spelling may be incorrect. Originally the name of an old Polish resident of the contributors home town. A certified loony, he was always drunk and babbling to himself crazily. It became used in the town as a name for anyone acting foolishly, or to insult someone you thought was a jerk. Still used by older residents who remember back far enough.

To squirm when seated as if one was being tickled. Rather than 'ants' these unfortunate people often suffered from worms, fleas, cooties or whatever. The treatment for the condition was to not to associate with them, to point fingers at them and yell insults whenever possible.

Unstylish, unfashionable, old-fashioned. Possibly worn by meffs or povvos. e.g. "Dem kecks are dead antwacky!", Contributor thinks this was in use before his era as his mother used to use it.

Name adopted by twats when playing ‘superheroes’ in the playground. Most kids would be an officially licensed character from film, tv or comics (Superman, Spiderman etc.) Yet, there was always one wanker who chose to be ANYTHING MAN. This would give the kid access to any super power he wanted and at will, thus rendering the game redundant before it began. It's also interesting to note that when someone declared he wanted to be Batman, there was always some clever git who would launch into some diatribe about how Batman didn't have any actual superpowers, and if anything was more like a detective than a true superhero.

To go mad or to get angry.

Equipment used for P.E or gym class. Ok not really slang - but has anyone used it with that meaning since leaving school?? AUS

Derogatory term for someone wearing unflattering big underwear. Example: 'that fat old trout had a pair of frilly apple catchers on'. This is a term used in Herefordshire term (west country) and probably comes from this area having a large number of orchards for cider making. Contributor says it must be a old term as his dad and his mates use it and the kids in school used it at school and continue the tradition to this day.

A suckarse crawler. One who fanny's up to the teacher to ingratiate themselves in the hope off gaining a few extra marks or some other advantage - like protection in the playground when the rest of the class tries to smash his face in for being a smug twat.

Meaningless expression.

A thick coat with no sleeves - a bit like a large waistcoat. So-called because doesn't warm your arms.

Roughly translated it means "I think you're telling porkies". It's pronounced with exaggerated retroflex "r" and rising intonation.

Buttock cleft. (1) pos. corrup. of arse, but could be from the literal meaning "sharp edge at the meeting of two surfaces". Strangely the term is used with its correct meaning in bricklaying!

(2) possibly "double" Cockney rhyming slang - Aristotle=bottle, bottle and glass=arse. The latter also helps explain the term for someone who has panicked, i.e. "lost his bottle" as in "shit himself" (ed: however, on balance I think perhaps the first is most likely)

Back to front, wrong way round.
