paloni

Polari word for a young girl or woman. Probably derives from Italian for 'chick'. May appear with alternative spellings, e.g. palone, paloney, pollone, polone, etc.

"Varda that paloni, a bona eek!" (Look at that girl, nice face!)

Nick

Nick is one who is just a complete and utter busta. A nick has no regards for language conventions i.e. pronounces "Howe" "Howie". Some also may think of a Nick as a joke or just simply a cunt

"Man have you seen that new guy at school farting on people's sandwiches" "yeah he's a massive Nick"
