Need to 'translate' belming into English
for my other half - he isn't a native english speaker, so when I described someone as a belming twerp the other day, he naturally asked for an explanation.

How would you describe the word 'belming' to a foreigner?

Just do it.
He should get the idea.

1. Insert as much tongue as possible between bottom teeth and bottom lip.
2. Go 'Nnnnnnnnnng'

Tell him it's the face he makes when he comes.

Ah! Belming
The venerable Pooflake and myself were asked after our latest gig (Y'know, the bit where the kit's all packed away and we're waiting for the moolah and playing stuff that we generally don't in the set) where our band's name 'The Belmers' came from.
We both looked at each other and then just belmed the guy!

I think he got it.
