British Slang DictionaryAs we haven't had a QOTW for a few weeks, thought we'd try something a little different. We'd like you to suggest phrases, bits of slang you know and you find amusing and give their definitions.

Poofter -- Hear me out now.When working in NY as a removals man, 'you fag' was a common slur. I convinced a fair few of my colleagues to use the British equivalent, as the etymology is much finer (Urban Dictionary) - "based on the permanant stretching of the anus that results from repeated anal sex, which causes farts to be emitted with a "pooft" sound rather than the usual, stacatto "bra-a-a-p".
I found out Merkins pronounce it 'Poof - Da'. A small section of NY removal men are still hopefully using this.
**The first time I asked someone in America if I could "bum a fag" I was regarded with very weird looks.**
