Shag - To have sex, but also used to mean tiredness as in 'I'm totally shagged.'

Shattered - Tired.

Shrapnel - The term used to describe the inordinately large amount of small change discovered in your pocket after a piss up.

Siphon the python - To go to the toilet (for men).

Slash - To go to the toilet, as in 'I'm going for a slash.'

Smallest room in the house - Euphemism for toilet.

Squire - A general term of address towards a man, similar to 'guvnor'.

DANG IT !!!! - I would have stayed with walking if numb-skull sheepy - with the IQ of said animal - would have just been able to read and assimilate the answer given.

And this guy is asking the puzzles? THE QUESTION I WANT ANSWERED IS WHY DOES SUCH A DOLT GET TO ASK THE QUESTIONS IF HE CAN'T RECOGNIZE THE ANSWER??????? OH, MY ACHING AUNT FANNY !!

You can also use "Point Percy at the porcelain" but only if you are a man.

Your imagination is way more obtuse than mine. I bow down to you. You are the master.

Please note: Both obtuse and abstruse are my favorite words at the moment.

Please note: "panegyric" is my new word for the day.

I'm glad that we haven't dipped to obfuscation, though some points do need a little adumbration still.

Perhaps it originates from the North of England and as you live in London you live a more sheltered life!

It's an archaic expression and possibly has a northern bias ...

Quote
Most of the well-known manufacturers produced pony or horse drawn mowers but probably the best known was Alexander Shanks and Co of Arbroath, Scotland. This company had produced the first horse drawn mowers in the mid-19th century and they were immediately popular, especially on the growing number of golf courses and other sports grounds that were being built at the time. Some people believe that this is the origin of the term "Shanks's Pony",
