Putting a call out

A meaningless action that basically means that the individual has no intention of resolving an issue but wants to put forward the impression that it is being dealt with

At Prime Ministers "Question Time" when challenged on the award of pension to Sir Fred Goodwin, Gordon Brown replied "don't worry, I'm putting a call out"

Twonk

A term used to define those 40-something men who decide that they like the feel of Lycra next to their skin whilst imagining they're Bradley Wiggins astride their Pinarellos and Cervelos as they cruise the lanes and byways of every county on a weekend. AKA cyclists or MAMIL's (Middle-aged men in Lycra)

Annabel was late for her luncheon appointment at the Nags Head. Upon arrival her chums quizzed her as to the lateness of her arrival and the beetroot-like complexion of her face. She replied "I've spent half a bloody hour stuck behind a dozen ghastly Twonks in their day-glo costumes on their Raleigh Choppers with absolutely no thought for us poor 4x4 drivers! I need a G&T times two and make it swift"
