lalah

A kindly, jovial term for a British (second generation plus) Asian Muslim.

1. Fagger: I'm out of cigarettes and need a smoke.
Fagger's Mate: Ha! And all the shops are closed.
Fagger: No they're not. The lalah corner shop is open all night.

2. You've got to watch those lalahs - they all carry knives.

real time

The subjective experience of time passing confirmed as about right by external, objective measuring criteria ie an hour feels about like an hour, and this is confirmed by looking at a clock, where an hour has indeed been measured as having passed. As opposed to (e-time), where time seems to pass at a quicker or slower rate than external measuring systems would suggest.

1. I had an hour real time left at work - and it passed in exactly an hour on the clock.
2. It seemed I'd only been online a few minutes real time, but when I looked at the clock it had been three hours.

Bank Clerk: Right. Let's fill this in. Where do you come from?

Mohammed: What do you mean by come from?

Bank Clerk: I mean that I can't let you open a current bank account until I know where you live.

Mohammed: Ah, OK. I live in Angerland. It's a county where I'm not even allowed to demonstrate my opposition to the government, and am inclined to be made to feel as though as I should hold my head in shame.

Bank Clerk: Fine. I'm spelling that - is it A - N - G - A - L- A -...
