A glossary
The words of the Dawes Road Palace.
cabin fever - condition where average-looking women start to seem
attractive. Example 1 working in an office with the same women
all the time, they all start to become really good-looking. Example 2
Spend so much time watching TV that the ordinary looking female
presenters on SkySports news start to become appealing. Unless
you're talking about that foxy Dalglish chick. She's nice.
denzil - general purpose word, can mean just about
anything. No longer in common usage.
fast - name given to any player whose name we can't remember
but who we know is fast. Used when watching sport. Usage: "Give it
to fast!"
hot hot hot hot hot hot hot - just our childish way of
saying that something is hot.
kevin clout - a cricket shot. Usage: "He kevin clouted it!"
Used almost exclusively by Jules.
LMF - Low Moral Fibre. There's an ad on TV here for
Castlemaine XXXX. It's about a bloke who has sex with his best
mate's sheila. The conclusion drawn by my flatmates is that
Australians have low moral fibre.
need - extreme want. It's all about the usage: "get some need behind it,
mate!"; "Oh yeah, need."
one - invitation to play one game on the Playstation, usually
before resuming study. Rarely is one, often turns into three or
four. Usage: "One. Come on Jules, one."
Paul - Mox's real name. Only used by his immediate family.
peter - shorter form of "Peter Asif", derived from "as if"
Youri Djorkaeff - you're joking. Also a soccer player, who
in Jules' opinion is shite.
