HM customs & excise

(n.) Her Majesty's custom and excise, who control most of British taxation, and really don't give a shit that it's too much, so shut up and pay, you working class daily star and the sun readers who bitch about the government.

HM customs & excise will amalgamate themselves with the Inland Revenue in a few years.

zanzibar

Island country off the east coast of southern Africa that later joined with tanzania. Often used for comparisons to things that the speakers know little about. This is possibly because no-one seems to know where the fuck this island is.

Tell me what's your favourite dish?

I'm not gonna cook It but I'll order it from zanzibar!
