  • Move all the 'region' defs at Antarctica translation table to the one at Antarctic
  • Add quotes to run someone's file (search through someone's criminal record). Vybz 'kill dem all and done' but also a few American slang hits come up when I do an advanced Google search[4].

  • Slang use of deep = think deeply about S1E8 of Champion about 9 mins in. Also appears here[8] and here[9]
  • Add skunt - S3E2 TB 31:55 mins left (also add a quote for dark = black tar heroin) also snake = ‘inform on’ not just ‘inform’ (32:26 left), 19:45 left ‘himself’ = ‘he’ (Hiberno-English-English), serve = deal dark (not crack) S3E3 TB 47:51 left. gas] = recruit into a gang (35:26 left), pattern up 14:44 left

  • Create lemon and lime (earliest tweet using it is here[11]).
  • Use this song[12] to add various slang terms.
  • Use[13] to create claffy and add quote to frass, add several quotes to frass and frassed in fact and create frassing (tripping) - not only MLE but Jamaican and AAVE.
  • Create Carolus Gulden as a type of coin and link to carolus. Also called Carolusgulden, Karolusguldenand Karolus gulden
  • Create 'twelfth pie' and 'twelfth night pie' as synonyms for 'mince pie'
  • Add yed as dialect for 'head'
  • Add Jamaican patois (and MLE) 'bly/bligh' = 'chance' (eg. 'Sean Paul - Nah get no bligh', Bebe Rexha - Comfortable[14], 'Dizzie Rascal - Fire In The Booth' and 'Stormzy (featuring Headie One) - Audacity'.
  • Add patwa term fayva - use GB hits for 'fayva Violet', 'fayva Grace' and 'fayva potoo' - also there are 2 songs on genius.com, one of them by Desmond Decker, that could be used. Define as 'resemble;seem' and use 'fayva like the man' to support this.
  • 23 mins into ‘Vendetta’ - food = drugs (specifically cocaine) and ‘bill’ = £100, ‘bills’ as a plural appears in S1E4 of Supacell at around the 42 min mark
  • Add quote for bait from 'We Still Kill the Old Way' on Amazon Prime - MLE but means stupid/annoying rather than obvious really - about 23 mins in, followed by 'I was gassed up back then' around 24 mins in - add to gas ('I was gassed up' = 'I was (a) gangster'/'I was gangsta'). Create Citations:gas to deal with this and transfer unclear stuff already at gas to this page - also add 'Stop gassing' from the Soph Aspin song there. There's also the gangster sense of 'gas' in Jamaican Patwa in the song 'Dem a go dead' by Massicka[15]
  • Add quote from the scene in 'Man Like Mobeen' with the feuding Turkish barbers to chef (stab)
  • Maybe create one or more, it means 'one or more than one', so not SOP, and there's the pluralisation issue.
  • Add quote to resurrectionist - 12 mins into S1E4 of Wormwood on NetFlix
  • Create greaze (various MLE slang meanings)
  • Create roe = 'pregnant (of a fish)'
  • Add Yorkshire/Lancashire dialect and Scots sall/sal (and 's = 'll in Howfen Wakes by the Houghton Weavers). Likewise for sud = should.

Add this quote to P's: "Until this link in Spain gets patterned, none of us are making P’s" (S2E3 again, 31 mins in)).

  • Add quote for 'snake' = 'informer' - 12:34 mins into ep 3 of 5 of PRU.
  • I'm amazed we don't have 'par' = 'diss'/'violate' (from 'faux pas') and 'boy off' = 'play a prank on' or 'assault' (both in 'Tempa T - Next Hype'). Fix this! This song[[18]] (urban dictionary useful for once) also has 'shotter' = 'dealer'/'pusher', related to 'shot', a similar slang word to 'blot' - some evidence on GB and Twitter for 'blotted'='drunk', similar to 'blotto' - maybe it went from 'drunk' to 'high' to 'selling drugs to pay for ones fix (ie. 'to get high') to 'selling drugs (to get others high)'?? The hilariously bad Blackpool rapper Lil T says 'parred' in one of his songs too.
  • 'chief up' has similar meaning to 'chef up' = 'stab'
  • Add 'violate' = 'betray' (47:39 into S4E1 TB) or 'rob/burgle' (40:19 into S4E1 TB)
  • 'Shine' = 'light a spliff' (see the song 'Traffic Jam' by the Marley brothers)
  • Why is there so little stuff online about the obvious fact that many people in Northern England and to an extent Scotland, Ireland and the West Country say 'aw' as 'ah' in a way that doesn't relate to the cot-caught merger, ie. they say 'caught' as 'cart' but maintain a short vowel for 'cot'?
  • Find and add quotes for food (drugs) from Top Boy
  • Create the Irish terms buck eejit and buck lep - related to buck = male animal or buck = 'fuck'/'fucking'?
  • Add gem it = excel (see the long entry).
  • Add sneaky beaky - a sneaky person, especially an undercover Army officer (as in the BBC drama Blue Lights where the police claim that someone can't be a 'sneaky beaky' so must be a 'det' (detective?) or 'box' (some wierd NI slang - not sure of the meaning). Bring this up on the Tea Room.
  • Add KES term 'sacred sod'[19], and 'big school/shell/rem(ove)/Upper Middle(UM)/Fourth/Fifth/Div(ision)/Sixth'[20]. 'recess' for 'breaktime' is here[21] and here[22] (which gives stuff on the origin of the term 'Shell' and mentions 'Big-school' too). 'remove' is here[23](with a different meaning), 'Shells', 'Rem S' and Divisions are here[24]
  • Add etymology to Aphra
  • Perhaps add 'contractor/supplier/undertaker(funeral director)' to the meanings for our French entrepreneur entry.
  • Add extra senses to clacker, some quotes and question etymology of Aussie term.
  • Add quote to Red Room from NetFlix
  • Create blatta as an obsolete word for cockroach, taking care to avoid translingual/Latin uses of Blatta.
  • Add quote to peg dope from the most recent episode of Endeavour (S9E1 on ITV X)
  • Add quote for slash = 'urinate' from S1E5 of 'A bit of Fry and Laurie'
  • Also create beat=shoot (as in 'beat the chiney K' but also 'beat the gun'/'beaten with a gun' and 'gunman beat') and spray = shoot; fire; spray bullets.
  • Also create chopstick = 'gun' (and perhaps 'Russian chopstick' = Kalashnikov and 'Chinese chopstick' = Chiney K)
  • Add quote for the humorous verb science (Warrior Nun S1 E7 3 mins in), church (7 mins in) and for floor (near the end of WN S1 E6).
  • Create this is me (=this is my stop/turning) early on in S1 E10.
  • Discuss the pronunciations we have for 'Ireland' (no 'oirland/I-land/ahrland'? Compare 'coir', 'diamond' and the redneck version of 'fire' as 'far', which is also missing).
  • Create Glasgow oyster (referring to a pie in a roll aka a Wigan Kebab).
  • Add skunt and scunt (= cunt, skinned and skint in various dialects).
  • Add quote to bindle (around 55 mins into The Oak Room, watch again on catch up on Film 4 and get exact wording and time spoken).
  • Create goose the truth (embellish the facts) - appears about 10 mins later, 01:30:00 'goose it up'- perhaps just add 'goose' = 'embellish'.
  • Add 2007[25] and 2008 quote for garms [26]
  • Create 'English terms prefixed with acanth-' category.
  • Perhaps create 'out-straight' meaning 'straight out' (see[27]).

Add entries for:-


  • ‘spit’ = ‘rap battle’ is S2E3 TB (some point in last 10 mins).
  • disambiguate tap/faucet/spigot/spicket/cock/stopcock.
  • parse = understand, analyse or explain the cryptic component to the solution of a cryptic crossword clue.
  • 01:01:00 ‘second go’ = Second World War
  • Gertcha - is it from ‘get out of it you’ as per Wikipedia, simply from ‘get out you’ (according to the internet and common sense!) or ‘get you gone’??? (Current Wiktionary etymology)
  • Perhaps add ‘brocco’ = ‘shoot/sprout’ as a secondary Italian definition to the nag(horse) one - if it’s still actually used with this meaning.
  • add ‘no moss on’ (you/this one) - roughly equivalent to not as green as one is cabbage-looking, more rarely means ‘having no visible signs of success or wealth’ (from a rolling stone gathers no moss).
  • swilsh=swill/wash? I can only find one Manx dialect book saying ‘swilsh’=‘swish’ on GoogleBooks, one Catwoman fan fiction story online with ‘swilsh=swish’ and one fictional story online where someone used ‘swish’ as a magical word which immediately makes someone dry when it’s uttered but ‘swilsh the plates is the sort of thing my mum says all the time.
  • Create rye whiskey entry based on Wikipedia page (mention diff between U.S and Canada varieties)
  • Create not much in it entry; define as ‘not much difference/not by much’
  • add ‘ballot’=‘ballotte/palpate (in fact it’s the usual form) and create an English (and French?) sense for ballotté, a ballet move/step.
  • add ‘physically decaying’ as an archaic sense for ‘decadent’.
  • Add ‘pattern’ (MLE) = ‘recruit into a criminal organisation’ and possibly ‘sort/Organise’ more generally, e.g: ‘Man’s gotta pattern more yute man to go country and sling/shot man’s white and brown’ (possible ‘Top Boy-style’ sentence). ‘I’ve gotta pattern things with Dushane’ - TopBoy S2E3 (‘Likkle Favour’). ‘ pattern up already exists.
  • ’shot’ = sell drugs (S2E1 TB:SH and in various places in original TB series).
  • add quote to go country (MLE) = ‘travel outside London to engage in criminal activity’ (a form of ‘county lines’ criminal activity) (TB:SH S2E1)
  • Create The Very Reverend, The Right Reverend, The Most Reverend and possibly The Right Honourable (though we already have Right Honourable.)
  • See the 'He buzzed a bloak and a shakester of a yack and a skin' slang example at the cite mentioned in the bloke article and add definitions of the odd words.
  • Add sense for mob which corresponds with ‘mob the hawk’ (appears in Unthanks - Magpie). A predator bird is surrounded and attacked by its prey, normally they’re great in number but occasionally a single one of them will attack a tame enough, domesticated predator (see https://www.thehallofeinar.com/2019/07/mobbing-a-harris-hawk/).
  • bill(s) (MLE) = £100(s). Appears in a scene where the term is conveniently defined in TB, also in TB:SH S2E1. I’m not sure how it relates to Jamaican Creole bills = J$100, don’t know whether ‘bill’ or ‘bills’ refers to £100 - apparently there’s a similar usage in the US (see Talk:Bill) - also ‘4 bills’ appears in S2E8 TB.
  • Piff = good (TB:SH S2E1 and in the Wikipedia MLE article).
  • ’come’ (MLE, interjection) = come on; let’s go.
  • ’toy’ = ‘gun’ (S2E3 TB:SH and WP:MLE)
  • Possibly ‘spike me’ = ‘high five me’ (TB:SH S2E4).
  • Sort out missing senses of ‘top’ = ‘to exceed in height’, ‘top up’ = ‘pour liquid into’ but not necessarily completely, it can just be to a sufficient or expected level. ‘Topped up on X’ seems to mean ‘consumed a sufficient quantity of X to satisfy one’s needs or desires’ or ‘in a state of having consumed a sufficient quantity of X to satisfy one’s needs or desires’, especially where X is an illegal drug - probably an extension of the wine sense.
  • Similarly ‘fill (up)’ can also mean ‘add a sufficient or expected amount of something to’ not just ‘add the greatest possible amount of something to’ (other dictionaries have ‘filled my house with furniture’ as an example of this but filling a glass with wine (or car with petrol) would work too).
  • Add 1968 Google Books quote to premenstrual syndrome and change date of the 1950’s quote (it’s actually from 1998!). - Now add the less clear quotes to the ‘premenstrual syndrome’ entry’s citation page and do the same for premenstrual tension (basically treating them like hobbit or New Taipei.).
  • Remember that {{no entry}} exists, might be useful.
  • Create Jamaican haffi and explain one sense of fi (‘has to’/‘have to’/‘must’) as a contraction of this. Also explain it can be used passively to mean ‘has/have to be’, eg. ‘dem fi dead’ = ‘they have to be (made) dead’/‘they must die’
  • Create Jamaican deh mention ‘there’ and ‘am/are/is/be’ meaning (eg. ‘Dem deh deh’ and ‘Weh im deh’.
  • Mention that hook can also be a kick here and that roundhouse can also be a punch on WP. Get the definitions and uses consistent across Wiki.
  • Add pronunciation spelling of vex to wex. ‘Wex’ and werry are both used by Gus Elen (on YT) and appear in GBooks.
  • Try to find evidence tools and irons can be dialect for cutlery, (eating) utensils, ‘silverware’(U.S). My dad from Staffordshire often says both of these (I think I heard ‘tools’ on a YT video about Black Country dialect recently, I’ll try to find it (obviously not durably attested though).
  • Try to prove firk/firkle mean ‘rummage/root around’ in Staffs dialect (related to Cumbrian firtle?). Apparently it had a sense of beat/whip/chastise in the past too (also it’s used as a euphemism for fuck).
  • Add some more meaning to cop (verb) and create some related phrases
  • In full wig - ‘in the full dress and regalia of a profession’ - appears in the latest ‘Endeavour’ program (“No real don would be abroad in full wig at that time of the night” - in reference to someone dressed in the robe and mortarboard of a professor but not wearing an actual wig, although often the phrase does refer to a uniform or livery that includes a wig. ‘Mayor in full wig’ on GoogleBooks is ambiguous but most hits are things like ‘Judge/barrister in full wig’.
  • Add new sense of bus - apparently this can be used to refer to cars or planes, or specific types of such vehicles. Not sure where this is actually used though.
  • Add new sense to betimes - apparently this can mean ‘occasionally’ in the U.S as well as early/quickly/soon.
  • gully - add Brummie word for alleyway, Jamaican term for a river that leads to the sea, Jamaican term for a slum/ghetto and Jamaican slang for the Cassava Piece area of Kingston.
  • Generalise early bath to rugby as well as football. Mention Eddie Waring as the originator of this phrase and of up and under.
  • Add chum as a word used to describe a tent built by reindeer-herders’ wives to house the family in the Russian tundra (there’s a Wikipedia article and I just saw a documentary on Russia Today, they used the pronunciation where ‘u’ is the FOOT-vowel, not the LOOSE/LOSE-vowel though (unlike on WP).
  • Add the sense ‘friend’ (Devon dialect) to boody. Is it possible that buddy came from boody which in turn came from beauty? Perhaps the word butty is itself from beauty rather than booty?
  • Add examples to support my extended meaning of cod (verb).
  • Add ‘wassin’, Black Country dialect for ‘throat’, and provide evidence for its existence.
  • Add extra definitions to so, to account for my comments on the talk page.
  • Try to prove fish and fishy mean homosexual(n) and homosexual(adj/adv) respectively in Jamaican speech. Consider ‘Yuh see di bwoy dem move fishy …A batty ting dem a pree. Seh dem live cross di water and dem caan go a sea’ - Movado - Dem a Pree - lyrics).
  • Add more meanings for Scots haet and create fient (eg. ‘Fient haet’ (devil has it) and many variants can mean ‘I don’t care about that’/‘nothing else’ and many other things ([28],[29]), haet means ‘whit’ in the English sense (a bit), rather than meaning [what]] and can also simply mean ‘have it’).
  • Add grunds (knickers/panties/ladies undergarments) (‘You risk going to SHU for a pair of grunds?’ - Prison Break S1 E17)
  • Add fode (Black Country dialect for the paved yard of a house, or a court or enclosure).
  • Create entry for the non-standard get one's hair did[30][31][32]
  • Add senses to chuff consistent with it being used to replace certain senses of fuck such as ‘they chuffed up the procurement’ [33], this odd use here [34], a more normal use of ‘chuffed it up’ here [35]. Add links to ‘what/why the chuff?’. There is also ‘(Don’t) chuff yourself’ and ‘Can’t be chuffed’.
  • Add the prison slang starred up ([36],[37],[38] are the three quotes I need)(transferred (‘promoted’) from a YOI to an adult prison) and kanga = kangaroo = screw = prison guard/officer - I’ve sent Kanga to REE - I could add 2 of these hits to the starred up entry I didn’t realise already existed (and reuse the ‘Starred up’ screenplay link used in the Kanga article) but this is all basically done now.
  • Create yur (eye dialect for year) using the following quotes:- [39],[40],[41],[42],[43],[44],[45],[46] (apparently old Bucks. accent, looks more West Country) - Brummie, Welsh, Geordie and South African examples would be good. Do similarly with ‘yare’. - basically done, yeah already exists but just represents a non-rhotic pronunciation of year, so I’ll add yare.
  • Create entries for the dialect terms brewus and brewhouse (a laundry, not a brewery).
  • Create entries for the slang term bin lid (rhyming slang for either yid or kid).
  • List chopine and zoccolo as English (borrowed) synonyms of each other and create Translation tables at these entries with Italian and French translations.
  • Create entry for safta (afternoon/this afternoon) based on [47] and yesterday’s Coronation Street (21/02/2022).
  • Create Spanish archer = elbow (link to give the elbow)
  • Create meaning of proffer consistent with proffer charges (approximately equivalent to press charges and prefer charges).
  • Create Translingual entry for prioritaire and add a Translingual translation to first class (may then be worth removing the Swedish translation).
  • Add PREFF-uh (using IPA) as the Jamaican pronunciation of prefer.
  • Add des/dess, Jamaican slang for desperate (Sean Paul - 'Send It On', also 'Like Glue'), Notch - Nuttin no go so, I’m sure there’s a song where ‘dess out’ = ‘get dess’ but can’t find it now.
  • Create Arzak eggs
  • Perhaps add bant(verb) meaning ‘diet’ and ‘banter’ (or at least add to citations).
  • Add the following link to the Londongrad entry [48].
  • Add cite to the MLE sense of ‘booky’ (TopBoy S2E7 23 mins in ‘moving all booky’ is another possible cite - and it gets pronounced like it does in the already cited Digga D song - mentioned in our already present pronunciation key).
  • ‘genna’ = General of a criminal enterprise - ‘That was my genna’ S2E7 Top Boy)
  • add quote to ‘bando’ - S2E7 49 mins TopBoy
  • add quote to ‘wap’ (S2E8 24mins - ‘buy the wap’).
  • Add various examples of MLE from ‘Blue Story’ on NetFlix to various entries
  • Create zero(e)th cousin as there are two GoogleBooks hits, a Google Scholar hit and various Google Groups hits justifying it, so it’s clearly attested and should be included - it shouldn’t be dismissed just because it’s a rare and comical term.
  • Add quote for dust = go from kidulthood
  • Add quote for dark = good/cool (MLE) - ‘Oh my days! That dress looks dark on you still!’ - Kidulthood. Also ‘I had to deal with some have-a-go hero, still’ 11:40 mins into ‘Vendetta’ (film on NetFlix - MLE)

  • Investigate Canadian pronunciations of ‘prestigious’ - TPB S4E4 has Mr Lahey at 01:15 say it with a short i, like I do. Also ‘elongate’ has different British pronunciations given here to ‘elongated’ but I would say it with the stress on the first not second syllable for both - TPB had a (Canadian) character say it with the stress on the second syllable (more American?).

  • Consider adding a definition for garnishee order or at least improving the corresponding Wiktionary page garnishment and adding a link - in British accounting law it occurs when a debtor’s debtors are ordered to pay their debts directly to the creditor of the original debtor rather than to the debtor themselves. In America and formerly in the U.K. the term included what are now called in the U.K ‘attachment of earnings’ orders, ordering that money should be paid directly to the creditor from the debtor’s wages. Also investigate and define Irish/Indian/Nigerian use of the term. Seemingly they haven’t technically legally existed in the U.K since 2001/2002(?) [58], [59] when ‘third party debt orders’ became a thing and they partially disappeared in 1971 when ‘attachment of earnings’ orders did [60].

  • Mention French toast versus eggy bread and egg bread in the Tearoom, eg. milk-free (coconut milk) and egg-free French toast here [61], the original recipe where the bread is soaked in wine, an almond milk recipe here [62], a flavoured batter made from plant-based milk and flour (or gram/chickpea flour) here [63], a similar recipe with no flour here [64], custard powder instead of eggs here [65]. ‘Spanish bread’ (bread dipped in egg and fried with no milk) here [66], toast eggs here [67] and interesting term pafesen here [68]. Here [69] is a mention of French toast referring to bread dipped in egg and fried without any milk but the recipe calls for dairy-free milk and so not really a usage. There’s also a mention of French toast now being used to describe eggy bread, where eggy bread is defined as bread dipped in egg and fried here[70]. Also a ‘simple eggy bread’ here [71] There are many examples of full on French toast (bread, eggs and milk) being called eggy bread such as here [72] and here [73]. Also there’s an example of a similarly defined recipe for eggy bread being labelled as French toast here[74] and here [75].

This[76] seems to suggest that poor knights is bread fried in butter and sugared and not necessarily soaked in milk, egg or wine. Here[77] is another link equating eggy bread and French toast (and poor knights of Windsor) which mentions ‘Bombay pudding’ and ‘hurry-scurry’ as synonyms, much like ‘drunken maidens’ is apparently a synonym[78]. Also ‘poor knights of Windsor’ is apparently a MUCH OLDER term than the German equivalent Arme Ritter[79]

 General musing on long/time

The ‘bus is long’ example I’ve heard IRL means that ‘long’ can function as a near synonym of both ‘late’ and ‘slow’ (‘long’ can be a synonym of ‘lent(e)’, IOW ‘slow’, in French, according to our French WT entry for ‘long’ interestingly enough.) Standard uses of long = ‘(for) a long time’ or ‘long a time’ are when used in negative statements; questions; when preceded by words like ‘too’ or ‘quite’; when followed by a temporal word like ‘ago’, ‘since’ or ‘after’; and when followed by a past participle (eg. long thought/forgotten/taken). Non-standard is when it’s the last word of a sentence that isn’t a negative statement or a question or if it precedes ‘for’ in such a sentence such as in Langston Hughes - Earth Song - ‘I’ve been waiting long for an Earth song’ and also in ‘1nonly-I fell in love with you one night in June’ lyrics (it’s on YT but WT’s spam filter won’t allow links to it) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27ve_Been_Waiting. Also the Jamaican influenced ‘long time’ = (for) a long time is non-standard and could be mentioned (The lyrics to ‘Long Time me no see you girl - The Sensations -1967 is the earliest instance I can find) - and even 'long' ("mi tan pon hi' long"[89]) - a related phenomenon is ‘long time no see’ from Chinese or Native American pidgin or in imitation of such and ‘me love you long time’, Stanley Kubrik’s imitation of Vietnamese pidgin, later famously the lyrics to a song (probably inspired by Kubrick hearing a Vietnamese person using ‘long time’ as they would ‘longtemps’). S1E3 of Champion 13:30 in also has slang sense of ‘long’

  • It's interesting that when I mistyped blot for quote on the 'blot' entry, rather than making it bold (blot), it had the effect of making it bold anyway!
