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. (ed: def. entered verbatim)
n. scabs on a rider's knees, elbows, or other body parts.
Open scabs and skin lesions due to methamphetamine abuse
Another name for those insanely delicious packets of highly salted, cholesterol loaded, heart attack promoting snacks otherwise known as Pork Scratchings. These are commercially produced pieces of pig skin roasted in the same way as normal 'crackling' and are utterly addictive. One of the best parts was when you found one that had a layer of fat atttached, or better yet, a little sliver of meat! Deadly but delicious! (ed: Woolworths in Australia sell slabs of pig skin and occasionally I cook a batch up. But as well as rubbing salt into the cuts sliced in the skin, I add chilli powder as well - which makes them even more attractive. In fact I feel like some right now!)
 A person who will work, contrary to a strike. In the Colonies they are called Scabs.

To suddenly find ones skin developing pimples or acne (also for diseases such as measles, chicken pox and the like). Used as "My face is full of scabs. I really shouldn't scratch when I break out in pimples.".
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?)
