Sounds like im not the only one who has to research certain words mentioned on here. As suggested, a sticked glossary would be useful
Binman - A manager being given the a job at a team, that he clearly is not qualified for (https://www.thethirdhalf.co.uk/showthread.php?2446-Ole-Gunnar-Binman-s-3-year-Man-United-contact&p=329338&viewfull=1#post329338)

We need Hornet back to curate this.
Whatever happened to his TTH lexicon thing? I thought Ital painstakingly copied it over, but I guess that was to the old new board, was it?

I see the word nonce thrown around a lot. The dictionary defination is a word that means a sexual offence towards children. Im guessing that still applies here.
Yeah that one's just the normal word for it.
I believe I've mentioned on the board before that a former colleague of mine described himself as one in the office thinking it was just a word for an idiot.

What was the word someone made up on the last board that everyone attempted to get to go mainstream?
Ian - not Ian Webly, but Welsh Web Wizard (WWW) known for his Champ Man tactics, and for not actually being called Ian.
1-0 Ronaldo - Made mahow the man he is today.
Garden Soccer - .com, potentially the best sport in the world.
The Reid - Mike’s fella, although this has previously gone undisclosed. #llamaboys

the better way to do this is to collate all the terms you want to know/share and then have a crowd sourced definition once they're all compiled.

No.
P.S. I love that Baz still had the same 'make a couple of quid anywhere i can' mentality even 12 years ago.

For a minute, I thought the reviews were linked to this t-shirt.
I have the second of those shirts.

FWIW we didn’t put them up just to “make a few quid,” they were just ones we made to order for ourselves and wear on the World Tour.
To me absolutely ages to make that website. :drool:

When I started using nonce casually (about 5-6 years ago--I'm fairly sure I have a claim to starting the casual usage off that is now RIFE), Girl (RIP) ended up calling her gran a nonce because she thought it meant idiot too. But that's the beauty of it. It's a fun, playful word that can cause so much offence.

Yev did.

CHIMP OUT was brought to us by Wedge, who took it from a racist forum of the same name. I say racist, I seem to remember it specifically being anti-black, rather than generically racist, so there is probably a more precise word for that. They had their own lol glosaary as well. We should have merged.

Was that the list of fruity terms that Harold loved so much he must have had it laminated and pinned to his ceiling?
