Narm

A nickname for the council estate behemoth that is the town of Dagenham. Vietnam and Dagenham share the same word ending, but the sounding is different.

Short for 'Vietnarm', a literal spelling of the british pronounciation of that silly old war in the 60s and 70s.

Used because parts of Dagenham represent war torn Hanoi.

"You weren't there man, Vietnam destroyed the soul of many a young man"

"I know what you mean pal, mate Dave who lives in the narm got his benefit stopped so now he's gotta cut down on his ciggies. He's never been the same since."
