Prejudice
"Are you prejudiced?" asks StapMyVitals. Have you been a victim of prejudice? Are you a columnist for a popular daily newspaper? Don't bang on about how you never judge people on first impressions - no-one will believe you.

"town" for London
stems from the late 17th/ early 18th centuries when it was the only real "town" for most of the Home Counties... It's usage spread so that for me in Yorkshire "town" was the nearest place more lively than the fields I grew up in.
Just like "clink" means a prison - it used to be the name of an infamous prison in Southwark.
