Open scabs and skin lesions due to methamphetamine abuse
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.

Potato crisps, or chips (as opposed to French Fries). As in "All we 'ad were a pint and a bag o' scabs". Actually first heard in Torremolinos, Spain on a coach excursion, uttered by a lad from Bradford to some mates. Also often overheard in Leeds in later years. Interestingly (?) - observed on the above mentioned Spanish coach trip - a cinema showing 'Adios Senor Chips'. (ed: I vaguely remember a dreadful song from the 1960's - 70's of which only the refrain 'Torremolinos, Torremolinos' has stuck in my head. If anyone has the slightest idea what this song is or can provide lyrics etc I'd be very grateful! I wonder if it was a Monty Python song?)

(ed: wasn't sure whether to put this in Seedy Songs or here. This won!) This was not so much a word but a song. It went: Lets all go to Tesco's Where [John's] mum buys his best clothes Nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah It was chanted at the kids who came to school in scabby clothing or fake designer goods which were so obviously fake. Not sure if it originated from someone bringing it back to our school or because a big Tesco store was built in the town which started to sell clothes at cheap prices. This went on particuarly when there was all that fuss a few years back with Tesco's stocking Levi's jeans and the people at Levi's not being very happy about it. Didn't matter that they were real Levi jeans - just that you were too cheap to buy them for full price at a proper jeans shop!! It wasn't really just a word either, it was a song. We wouldn't, for example, call "John" a Tesco, the song would just be sung relentlessly at him and he would never ever come to school in that jumper/trousers/shoes/whatever again. By the time we'd gone into 6th Form we were much more mature and never sang such silly things! (ed: yeah right... )
