From the Archive - The Weekly DiScussion: Don't Stand So Close To Me
you don't get why 'jugs' is slang for breasts?
let me give you a little clue...
MILK.
well why don't you just call them
bottles? or pitchers?
answer me that!
the shape
because
breasts really look like jugs....
I'm still 99% unsure of what "Nang" means/is
Think it was cool sometime last year, never fully caught on round these parts though.
boomting.
seriously..
what the hell?

cotch
bare
butters
...
Bare = An abundance or surfeit of a particular item or attribute. E.g. "I've got bare rabbits right now. I can't find the host." The opposite of "air".
Butters = An ugly woman. e.g. "Mate, your mum is butters, but I still would though. Cause I don't discriminate."
I know what they mean
but they don't relate in anyway to their meaning!
butters
would probably be from butterface, ie. "she's hot, but her face!"
.
cotch = to relax in ones environment. "Toby, Mother has gone to the Farmers Market, should we just cotch here?"
johnny condom
was a cartoon about safe sex that we saw at school...there was a song...it was ace...

"Cane"
Used instead of "hurt". I think it's a purely Suffolk thing (anyone else heard it where they are?).
So people say "My back is caning", or "That canes". It makes little sense to me though.
"Swag"
"On your lemon"
"Mint"
...
Swag = Shit
Mint = Good.
I know that,
but where/how on earth did they originate?
...
Swag originated at my school, circa 1993. Mint originated in the mind of a twat from the home counties.
"Swag" turned up at mine in about '98.
Well, this was the West Country.
'you've never bought no fucking swag before'
an actual caning would hurt, too
maybe it's from that?
Maybe
But I've always thought it's a bit of an odd movement from noun to verb.
But cane is used when you use something excessively
eg, over accelerating a car.
I guess it has then moved to describe 'hurt' due to excessive use.?.
can be used for pain
for overusing something
or for being smashed
it's versatile
this is used round me
or used to be, surely its from the pain of being caned at school
