Fuck knows
I'm not a doctor.

Squeeze it hard and use a scalpel to lance it. Rub TCP into the crater.

That's what I do.

A man after me own heart.
I'll wait for it to fester properly first though.

I shot one across the bathroom once
from my thigh to the tiles was 6 feet. It had a solid plug of puss, my very own Etna.

There was a lot of blood.

Ew!
I think I'll go back to young men as they tend not to get boils.

That was when I was a young man (boy)
I don't get them now, all my hair folicles are dead.

You've tempted me sir.
I shall now sneak off for a surreptitious plook.

Edit. Nope, not ready yet.

You said Plook
I haven't heard that in years.

It's a great word
One of many from the rich Scottish lexicon.

I was in Glasgow last weekend.
I met a young lady in a bar who, when asked to keep a secret, said

Women can't keep secrets,
Men can't hold onto farts
So if you want me to keep it,
Stuff it up me arse!

I was very impressed.

I wonder if I got that from Billy Connolly
I know we didn't call them zits back then.

Hereabouts
They're always referred to as plooks. Unless you're trying to be polite, in which case they're spots. Not pimples or zits though.

indeed
an unfortunately over-spotty kid was forever heralded through the corridors of my school as "plooky bastard" - at least you knew when he was coming

I always thought Plook was a verb and happened to zits

(porkylips looks better as the sun goes down., Thu 4 Mar 2010, 14:03, Reply)

I think both are interchangable
I have zitted plooks before.
