Back in my day, we had to hand-draw our memes in the back of school textbooks, then wait until next time we had a lesson in there to see if anyone had seen it.

I’m choosing to interpret this as:

F-word ‘not said often enough in south’ - tribunal judge

Also, and worthy of note, it rhymes with “bumper”, which is important if you want to say something like:

“Dancing at the disco, bumper to bumper. Wait a minute! Where’s me jumper?” (Youtube link)

It looks like one of those “vague, unsure” ones, it’s perhaps too old a word, and with too many vague, possible sources.

Some bits of dictionaries suggest various etymologies - it likely drifted from words in Gaelic, Scots, Arabic and French, like “jupe”, “jump”, “juppe” “jubbe” and so on, which tended to mean things like “smock”, “jacket” or whatever. It’s been around in English for various clothing types for a few hundred years, and referred specifically to the woollen pullover thing from the picture above for 100-150 years.

It has no relation at all to jump as in “leap”.

What would we call it? hallo-old-chum-you-fiend? my-good-friend-the-dishonourable-sir?

Is anyone posh using British Lemmy who can help advise?

I like how the article has gentrified it to “GPS Penis” rather than the “GPS Cock and Balls” outlined in the original poster.

This is true - especially if you were wearing a thick woolly jumper whilst doing it.

I recommend that you do not touch the diaper.

What does a jumper have to do with sweating?

A retired British footballer (generally considered a very good one), and England’s “great hope” in the 1998 Football World Cup.

“Little Michael Owen is England’s great hope, he’s only 18, and he’s playing in the World Cup. If we lose, we’ll blame everything on him. No pressure”.

I have to admit I love these ladder related jokes - they work on so many different levels :D

Britons of a certain age refer to this as the “Trigger’s Broom Paradox”, after a character from a comedy TV Series “Only Fools and Horses”.

Trigger, who worked as a street sweeper, got an award from the City Council for maintaining the same sweeping brush for twenty years (though the broom has had 17 new heads and 14 new handles).

Perhaps they all eat Plumber’s Tape (aka Thread Seal Tape)?

I think so - he definitely played for Leeds. He must be in his 50s now, so maybe he’s took up journalism? :)

Yeah, they need to go back to having bald faces and side-parted hair, so we can shun them at long distance.

I never interacted with Pokemon (i think I was a few years too old for it) - but I used to have to write a lot of international names down for work related reasons, and therefore eventually had all the accented letter win-alt-key codes memorised - though I can’t really remember them all now (I’ve used Linux only for about 15 years).

I don’t think I’d remember many now - for example, I was convinced é was ALT+0233, but I could easily be mixing it up with one of the others.

Black cats of all nationalities are welcome :) The charity that declared the day is from the UK, but the idea that “black cats are beautiful and shouldn’t be overlooked” is worldwide :)

According to the best school playground scientists of the time, opening a packet of crisps upside down (i.e. so the branding/writing is upside down, and you open the bottom of the packet, at the top) actually “made you gay”.

It wasn’t just gay if you did it, but it would literally cause a spontaneous eruption of gayness in whoever did it - who would be permanently gay from that point onwards.

In the 1990s in the UK, it was gay to wear a backpack using both shoulder straps (as opposed to using one strap over one shoulder, which was the heterosexual way to carry things to school).
