foreigner

Common British slang for unofficial work, often making use of company equipment/ time/ premises but solely for personal gain, unrelated to the interests of the company and/or tax department. This phrase is short for 'Foreigner Bashing,' for reasons unknown, but DOES NOT hold racist connotations in this context. With notable exceptions, doing Foreigners is a fairly accepted part of British working life and, depending on the workplace, can even be done with managemental consent.

I'm not coming to the pub this lunchtime, I'm staying at work to do a Foreigner for a mate of mine.

bolo

1. To stink (usually of sweat).

disco nap

A short passage of sleep or slumber taken while dressed, with music playing and lights on (hence the term 'disco'), with the aim that one will not fall into deep sleep, thereby allowing the disco napper to relax and recharge whilst enjoying an album, but also wake up and go out later.

Contrary to some previous definitions, musical consumption and the intention to attend a musical or social function upon waking are key elements of the disco nap, otherwise it would just be a nap.

"When I get home from work I'm gonna take a disco nap to (artist/album title), then I'll join you at the club later.",

"I haven't had time to listen to that album all the way through yet - I'll probably take a disco nap to it after work. I'll tell you what I think when I see you tonight."

gully gully

1. A phrase used to describe an item (usually a commercial product) which is cheap, tacky, badly designed, old fashioned, poorly manufactured and/or characterised by a laughably obscure brand name.

NOTE: By coincidence, this phrase is semantically similar to the hip hop colloquialism gully, although the etymology is undoubtedly different.
While gully gully can be similar in meaning to some uses of gully and ghetto, it's chief meaning is wack.

2. A synonym for a crap training shoe.

1. "My gran bought me a gully gully watch for Christmas. I opened it and realised the wrapping paper was more likely to tell the right time!"

2. "When I was a kid my mom always made me wear gully gullies to play football in. They were called 'Run Team Pro Shaft 900' and they fell to bits after 2 days!"
