an old silver four-penny coin from around 1300 and in use in similar form until c.1662, although Brewer states in his late 1800s revised edition of his 1870 dictionary of slang that 'the modern groat was introduced in 1835, and withdrawn in 1887', which is somewhat confusing. Presumably there were different versions and issues of the groat coin, which seems to have been present in the coinage from the 14th to the 19th centuries. Very occasionally older people, students of English or History, etc., refer to loose change of a small amount of coin money as groats. Sadly the word is almost obsolete now, although the groat coin is kept alive in Maundy Money. The word derives from Middle English and Middle Dutch 'groot' meaning 'great' since this coin was a big one, compared to a penny. The similar German and Austrian coin was the 'Groschen', equivalent to 10 'Pfennigs'. The word can actually be traced back to Roman times, when a 'Denarius Grossus' was a 'thick penny' (equivalent).

pranny

pranny

A foolish person, a dur-brain: Used for example, as "fuck off, pranny!". Obviously had very vague sexual undercurrent, as sounded a bit like 'fanny'. For some reason, a kid at my school called Julian Van Santen was the prime recipient of the "pranny" epithet, to the extent that his name was changed to Julian Van Pranny. One day, during double French, he was taunted with this name with such regularity that he threw a "benny" in the middle of the lesson. Startled, the teacher launched into a lengthy and ferocious diatribe, the subject matter of which rambled wildly from Malcolm South (the main pranny-taunter), to the local rugby club (Amersham), to the then-current news story about a taxi driver who was murdered by a breeze block dropped on his car from an overhead bridge as a punishment for giving lifts to "scabs" during the Miner's Strike. I occasionally ponder the meaning of this outburst still, but this was the only occasion I can remember when a teacher calmed a rowdy class by bewildering them into silence.

scrote

scrote

It is a slang term for scrotum, but used in a derogatory way for when you are pissed off at a man, for whatever reason. Used as, "Give me back my tampon, you friggin scrote!", or "My stepson is such a scrote.", or "That big, hairy scrote is tailgating me in his big scrotemobile!", and "Don't be a scrote; give me a ride to school?". In most cases, this term refers to a man, but can be used for a manish woman. Contributor first heard this term a few years ago when her friend was mad at her step son and called him a "Scrote". She laughed so hard that she almost fell out of my chair and has been using the term ever since! Her female friends in Germany and Austria are using this term now, since she told them about it. They love it because they can insult their male friends and the male friends don't have a clue as to what a scrote is!

Female genitalia. Contributor describes it thusly "I heard this in Salzburg, Austria from a pack of hilarious Australians - AUSSIES, not Austrians - I told a few friends in the US about it. It's been spreading pretty quickly. I suppose it comes from the land down under for a reason!' (ed: for those less enlightened this is some sort of play on words. Female genitals - down under. Geddit??) c.f. beef curtains circa. 2000 AUS
