1980's payground name calling

[Trufflehound]

mong, spazz, Spanner (used to call my brother spanner a lot) Divvie, cretin,

I got called Deacon at school for a while, as did quite a few people, but being a Joe made it all the easier !

Halcyon days

When I don't like something I still occasionally describe it as "spannerific". Nobody seems to know what I'm on about - but then I guess that's the case with everything else I say, so no change there then.

plum - ha! what a classic

lemon, doughnut and fruitcake were also frequent ones

 

[Stat Brother]

This has highlighted the fact that I do still talk playground trash.
Some absolute classics:- gaylord, virgin (although the presence of children would disprove that), plum, knob, bum chum etc, are all used on an almost weekly basis.

What does that say about me!!.

The pikey kids who most people steered clear of used to call us a chavvie din lo crank! Although that would be more of a 90s name!

Thats didlo not din lo. pronounced diddle-o.

And after reading your posts I agree.

I wonder how that started?

Memories of a whole English class rubbing their chins at some story the teacher was telling.

My sister used to call other girls Jiffy's as in Jif Lemon. Not sure why lemon meant Lesbian but there you go.

'itchy chin', or 'jimmy hill' was regularly used.

Ahhhhh 'itchy reckon' in our school, but the principle was the same

 

[Gully]

Pringle, used in the Storrington area in the early 80's, think it was meant to refer to someone who might have gone to George Pringle school in Durrington.

 

[Pavilionaire]

An extension of the chin thing was this statement of incredulity when someone was telling porkies:

"Yeah, chinny reckon!..."

I also liked it when someone did something a bit feeble:

"Oh, effort!"
