How about:

SACK... COOK... NOW! Forum member doctorspin's traditional retort when the England opener makes a low score.

Coldplay (n) New Zealand bowler and legendary rabbit Chris Martin. After the band fronted by his musical namesake, who quite possibly has more talent as a batsman.

In reference to the definition of Chav, it's worth noting that it seems to be most commonly used on this forum as an insulting term aimed at Essex (the county/team/supporters).

Is there a place for "black helicopters"?


They were hovering over this place for a few months, seem to have dispersed now though.

If there has to be an entry "Tenduckar" (I don't see it holds water myself, but there you are) could derOgAtory pls be orthographically instated?

Thanking you.

Right, one definitely now for the Frommer's Guide that is our Glossary.

It's only a draft, can someone try to edit and correct it?



BLACK HELICOPTERS

An allusion originally associated with a report by contributor "Buckaroo" on the death of Bob Woolmer [can this statement be checked??], suggesting covert intervention by secret police or "special forces" (or possibly aliens), with strong overtones of systemic conspiracy and arguable indications of paranoia.

Comparable to "men in white coats" coming to take someone away (ha-ha), but using sleek modern hi-tech transportation systems.

(See also Chris Morris' "As if their brains were erased using mind rubbers" (The Day Today), Scorsese's Shutter Island, etc.)

I think you're a bit out in your suggested origin there. I'm pretty sure the Black Helicopters thread has been marked as Forum Gold somewhere...

And, for the first time, I had a look at one of Bucky's links... (here) and realised that there may just be one person more mentally unhinged than he was.
