1 n a person whose hobby is to, well, spot trains. They stand in railway stations or on bridges and note down the types and serial numbers of any trains that go past. I was fortunate enough to be in Reading Station one afternoon while a train-spotting convention was in town; the place was a sea of bright yellow reflective jackets and they had video cameras set up on each platform. Perhaps itÂ’s a social thing. Anyway, the term was made a household one by Irvine WelshÂ’s excellent book, Trainspotting, which is not about spotting trains. 2 n nerd. Stemming directly from the prior definition, this word has come to mean anyone who is a little too engrossed in one particular none-too-interesting subject, and probably a virgin.
Welsh is slang for to cheat by avoiding payment of bets or to dishonourably avoid the fulfilment of a pecuniary obligation.
Welsh person
Adj. Insane, crazy. Cf. 'radgie'. [Scottish/Cumbria/North-east use] Noun An unscrupulous, devious person. See Begbie, a fictional character in the book, and film, Trainspotting, written by Irvine Welsh. [Scottish use]
(1) hardened nasal mucus which can the be rolled & flicked, or eaten or whatever.- e.g. "I've got a bogey so big I can barely breathe!" (2) term for enemy aeroplanes, typically used during WW2."Captain, bogeys at three o'clock!" 3) hand propelled cart that travels on railway and tram lines. Tony Lloyd of Cardiff sent in the Welsh version: 'Bogey', in England is pronounced as spelt, 'boh-gey', like the railway cart, but in Wales and the USA it pronounced 'bwg-gy'. In Wales it means lumps of green mucus in the nose, but in America and in Wales, there is also the 'bogey-man' (bwggy-man) a mythical creature to frighten you. And in Scotland it means something else to Chris Sanderson: A bogey is a Scottish term for a home made go kart. It usually consisted of a plank of wood and four pram wheels. An additianl plank of wood would be bolted on running perpendicular to the main plank to allow steering. This would be made possible by a length of string with one end nailed to the right side and one on the left side of the perpendicular plank. Also, the word bogey could mean finished or abandoned. If you were playing football and you lost the ball on the school roof or something you would say, 'Oh well, Game's a bogey'.
Exclam. Goodbye! Cf. 'ta-ta'. [Welsh/Midlands/Northern use, 1950s] {Informal}

Noun. A Welsh person. Can be offensive. Derived either from the Welsh Dafydd, an equivalent name for David, or the River Taff. Also abbreviated to Taff.
Woman's genital area This word raises all sorts of interesting possibilities since the old Welsh word 'cwtch' (which has a similar pronunciation) is often used to mean a 'place of comfort'. It makes me wonder if the word was carried to the states by Welsh immigrants then mutated and adopted by peoples who would have no idea of its origins.
A time of abject poverty for masses of citizens of the UK despite billions of dollars flowing into the Treasury coffers from oil revenue. Alternative view of this period passed on by Mike Blackburn: The 'Thatcher Years' were simply a period during which Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister of the UK. Your definition above is rubbish. This was the time of the housing boom in Britain, the yuppie arrived, there was a perceived turning away from any corporate mentality and an embracing of selfishness and personal gain. There was not widespread poverty, any more than there was during any other decade of the 20th century. The gap between rich and poor, however, did grow rather alarmingly. NOBODY refers to Thatcher Years as being a time of great poverty, aside, maybe, from misinformed Americans (you don't think Americans can be misinformed? Who voted for George W then?). (ed: I'm Welsh by birth and lived in Wales during most of the Thatcher Years. I know there was desperate poverty amongst many, many people - because I lived the horror myself and saw first hand the collapse of communities. There were streets I know where the only person working was employed by the DSS to administer payments to the others. The comment about the gap widening between rich and poor was spot on and resulted in Cardboard City - which was a community of hundreds of impoverished people who, had to live in boxes under Waterloo Station in the heart of 'affluent London'. And this was just one instance of overt degeneration of society under that government. Personally I think Mike was insulated somehow from the worst of Thatcherism. The larger part of the population suffered - badly!) Kevin sends in the following addition: 3 million unemployed officially but more like 6 million in reality. Miner's Strike; destruction of Britain's industrial base; top 10% never better off; bottom 10% never worse off. (ed: Anyone want to expand further - either side of the equation?) UK
A trog, hippy, spod, a Brian. Carries implications of being malodorous and socially maladjusted, and quite often Welsh.
Being Welsh or having a Welsh accent. Possibly derived from two sources. (1) after the River Taff that runs through Cardiff (the captal city) or (2) more likely from a mutation of the name of a large number of Welsh males named Dafydd (David). The name was immortalised along with some scurrilous racial abuse in the childrens rhyme: Taffy was a Welshman Taffy was thief Taffy came to my house And stole a leg of beef (ed: there are more lines - anyone know them please?)
Jack Daniel's bourbon whiskey. "Hey bartender, give me a Jack and Coke." The inventor of Jack, Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel was born in September 1846, He was of Welsh, Scottish, English, and Scots-Irish descent - a good background for whiskey making.
Welsh "non-hippy" version of 'man', e.g. "Wassup mun. 'Ew looks like 'ew lost a fiver and found a tanner??".
Acquaintance, bit less friendly than butty Apparently derives from Welsh word gwas, meaning servant (that's for all the trivia buffs).
To pull someone's hair back from the forehead (using your hands pressed against their head) backwards across the top of the head, causing pain to the hairline region in particular.

When teachers discovered that this was going on in our Essex comp our surly Welsh head of year stood up in front of everyone in assembly and said "There is a practice going around this school called swiftying" to which we all dissolved into laughter.
