snecklifter

A beer ponce. A sneck is an old-fashioned latch and a snecklifter was someone who would lift the latch on a door of a pub, poke their head into the bar to see if there was the friendly face of someone who would buy him a pint.

Lent its name to a dark ale brewed by Jennings of Cockermouth in the English Lake District.

As usual, Terry, a notorious snecklifter, left the pub without buying a round.

Floating cheese

A prolonged conversation of no meaning undertaken exclusively by males under the influence of large quantities of alcohol. Nothing of any value is established through such intercourse the purpose of which is purely for the entertainment of those so engaged. Although utterly hilarious to those participating in a floating cheese conversation such talk invariably leaves sober bystanders and all females wholly perplexed.

The term comes from one such meaningless conversation in which the relative bouyancy of cheese was hotly debated for many hours.

The six old friends enjoyed an evening of strong ale and floating cheese.

blazer

An official of any small amateur or semi-professional football (soccer) club in the UK. They are often, but not exclusively, elderly, haughty and completely out of touch with the club's supporters.

They drink free tea and cakes before, at half-time and after the game, they NEVER pay to watch the game and always receive a free programme or matchday magazine. They almost invariably wear a white shirt, a club tie and, of course, a blazer: a dark jacket often bearing the club's crest on the breast pocket.

They tend to be held in low esteem by supporters and "blazer" should be considered a derogatory term.

As Vice Chairman, Clive felt he was an important and respected figure at the club. The fans just sniggered at the pompous old blazer.
