h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

In order to get the full non-sensical flavour of English Slang, I feel it necessary to expand/ replace the entry for 'B****KS' with the following:

B*****K:- A testicle or part of verb 'to b*****k' used in the British Army meaning to chastise severely.
EG. 1 - "I was b*****ked for not cleaning my boots"

B*****KS:- More than one b*****k or meaning 'rubbish' or 'nonsense'.
EG. 1 - "You're talking utter b*****ks"

THE B****KS:- A particularly good experience/result or product.
EG. 1 - "My new bike is the B*****ks"

IT'S B*****KS:- A particularly bad experience/result or product
EG. 1 - "you can keep your cheap cola, it's B****ks"
B*****KSED:- Broken
EG. 1 - "I crashed my new bike, now it's B*****ksed"

THE DOGS B*****KS:- The best in its class or field
EG. 1 - "I bought a new one on the Insurance, it's the Dogs B*****ks"

I'M B*****KSED:- I am tired, very tired
EG. 1 - "I'm as tired as a bear in November, in fact I'm totally B*****ksed"


Please feel free to add to this if I have missed any regional connutations of B*****ks.

Aston Martin DB series - DB stands for 'Dogs B*****s' and not the designers' name ...
Thought you'd like to know !

Oh yes, I nearly forgot ...
You ought to add the following to the list :-

Skarsegit (Say it out loud)
a contraction of 'Scouse Git', or often 'Randy Scouse Git'.
"You stupid skarsegit" my Grandfather would say to me, well he was from Kettring (as he'd say) and I was often being stupid!

Mullered or Well Mullered.
"I'm feeling mullered after those seven pints"
A feeling of nearly having but not quite overdone it. Like coming first in a pie eating contest - in other words you didn't throw up.

Gouched.
"I'm gouched, I shouldn't have had those eight pints"
A feeling of having overdone something. Like coming second in a pie eating contest - see Mullered.



I thank you.
