faux pas

A major breach of etiquette. In other words a social blunder.

Girl: Can I play the guitar next to Keith in church?
Boy (loudly so that every churchgoer in the congregattion can hear): So you fancy him them?
Now, my boy, that is a faux pas.

vogon poetry

1. Poetry recited by a Vogon or by several Vogons, and is the third worst Poetry in the galaxy.

2. Any poetry recited in a slow repetitive lilt that goes on for eternity, and makes one want to yell at the poet, "Shut up!!!", scream, and punch him in the gob.

Ralph recited some poetry at the Arts Festival, and he went on and on and on, in a slow drawn-out lilt. After 15 minutes the audience got so fed up, shouted "Vogon Poetry!" and pelted him with rotten vegetables and used condoms.

Abbreviation found on lavatory cubicle in Apartheid-era South Africa.

One cubicle has WC on it.
