lekker

Dutch and Afrikaans (South African) for "tasty", but used incessantly by the cloggies to describe everything that could ever possibly be considered even marginally above mediocre. Despite this not leaving much wriggle room in Holland, they manage to use it all the same, since they don't know any better. Rumour has it that after visiting Belgium (or indeed any other country less flat than Holland), use of this term diminishes remarkably, except when talking /about/ Belgium. I wonder why.

Lekker eten (tasty food) - it's not
Lekker meidjes (pretty girls) - they're not unless you like 6' rugby-playing types
Lekker slaap (ZA) (sleep well) - you won't
Lekker weer (nice weather) - it's not

The Nice

Term coined by the lead singer of The Small Faces to describe the feeling when the amphetamines kick in. Became the name of probably the original progressive rock act, formed of Keith Emerson on organ, Blinkey Davidson on drums, Lee Jackson on bass, and Dave O'list on guitar: the forerunner of Emerson, Lake and Palmer (ELP).
Famed for Keith Emerson's stage performances involving serious organ abuse (imagine if Hendrix played the Hammond), throwing it around on stage, setting fire to it, sticking knives in it etc.

Big Blunkett

Combination of "David Blunkett" and "Big Brother" (from Orwell's 1984, not the trashy TV show!), to illustrate the fact that Blunkett wants us all tagged, DNA profiled, ID'd and watched by surveillance cameras at all times, because of the bogeymen of "illegal immigration", "terrorism", and "benefit fraud".

"Big Blunkett's not satisfied that the UK already has 10% of the world's surveillance cameras, so he's set a 5 year plan and another target to top this"

SPAD

Acronym of Signal Passed At Danger: when the choo-choo train enters the tunnel of love whilst ignoring the red warning signs at the entrance.
