Suck it and See

Charming British expression referring to trying out something untested or kind of unknown. It's really a metaphor - the new thing is like a boiled sweet, the uknown consequences are the flavour, so you "suck it and see"!

"Shit fella, I'm not so sure about these shiny pants. They look pretty gay."
"No worries mate - suck it and see. You might get lucky".

Bareback Mountain

Alt. name for that movie tale of cowboy starfish spearing. Given how quickly the boys get down to business in that cosy little tent of theirs, it just makes a kind of sense.

"Well, there were no condom dispensers on the open range in those days, so they should have called it Bareback Mountain".
"Wise words my friend. Pass the nachos".

Choping

To take a photograph up a woman's skirt or dress without her consent. British slang, also known as upskirting. Named for Sir Christopher Chope, MP. I chope, you chope, Sir Christpher Chope chopes.

Sir Christopher was caught choping the other day and deselected from his seat for being a perve.

Nomance

n. When you're dating someone but, frankly, there's nothing there. You're just going through the motions, passing the time and waiting for something better to come along. Don't even ask about the sex.

Pete and Jordan don't look too happy together.
Damn right - it's the nomance of the century.
