gramophone

An Edwardian equivalent of a CD player, which played flat black discs and powered by a spring that was wound by hand. Usually had a large sound trumpet on top to amplify the sound.
Word is used in a derogatory way when refering to (once) popular music that is out of date or old fashioned.

At a party, "I've brought my Abba CD's"
Host: "I'll wind up the gramophone"

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"
