twocer

n. from twoc; a person who commits acts of theft.

While it's a pretty general description, it's usually applied to pubescent kids from a lower-class background. Examples can be found loitering in groups (they're rarely seen alone) in areas where security guards won't chase them away in most British towns on weekends.

They can be easily identified by their appearance; a cap (either NY Yankees or fake Burberry) covering hair plastered down with too much gel; a face in dire need of some Clearasil; a hoodie, probably in a light colour and sporting the logo of a major sporting-goods manufacturer (so obviously not skater-wear); a pair of tracksuit (see tracksuit monkeys) bottoms tucked securely into their socks to a) show off their trainers (no matter how lame they are) and b) allow them to drop any small items they steal down their pants safe in the knowledge that they won't fall out the bottom.

Ugh; check out the twocers hanging around Woolworths waiting for the security guard to go away so they can put some pick-n-mix down their pants.

guerilla education

noun. The process of educating people about something under the auspices of helping them with something unrelated. Or in other words, tricking people into learning.

I see so many searches for the Crazy Frog on Limewire that I've started labeling my Miles Davis mp3s as 'crazy frog (rare remix)' to give the kids a little guerilla education.

pudding bowl

n. A type of haircut, specifically one done at home by an unskilled hair-cutter. A pudding bowl is placed over the head of the person requiring the haircut, then the cutter trims any hairs that protrude below the rim of the bowl. This leaves the hair cut in the shape of the pudding bowl used as a guide for the cut.

For examples see early pictures of The Beatles, then imagine the same thing attempted by an alcholic single-mother, while half cut, at 1 am.

A contender for the most universally unsexy haircut ever.

Nice pudding bowl, freak. Did your whiskey-drinking mum do that?

Hair cut?
Hair cut?
You got a _scare_ cut!

Yorkshire Man

A man from Yorkshire. Of course, it's a highly coveted attribute that's only achievable by having a mother with enough foresight to realise the best place to go to give birth. Sadly, those who're unfortunate enough to be born outside of Yorkshire (say, for example, in Lancashire) do tend to get rather jealous and slag Yorkshire men and women off.

See also Yorkshireman.

Michael so was upset about not being a Yorkshire man that he embarked upon a desperate smear campaign against the county, revealing his own inferiority and fascination with sheep.
