The language of SHITE!

[barrett]

I use Chod, Rammle and Tat very frequently. Also 'giffer spec'. Tried explaing 'Sherpa Coupe' to my mate, but I guess you had to be there (here)

[trigger]

Makes my shit itch and my piss boil are two of my favorites I've picked up from here!.

[HillmanImp]

I was speaking to a chap the other week in Leeds who had a loverley Mk4 Scrote. Exclaimed that it was great to see someone looking after a 'pov spec' one so well. He genuinely looked offended.

 

I have used the term Bumhats for as long as I remember though.

 

Never used Dizzler before though. Do all the time now. But I am very well spoken, which is surprising as i am a cockney divvent you know.

I use 'old giffer' after getting it off here. But is it said with a hard G like 'gonads' or a soft G like geronimo? I say with the hard G cos it sounds funnier.

 

Another I got indirectly off here is 'Fucksticks' from the kunt and the gang song that someone posted up - still love that word after 2 years.

 

(if I'm at work I might change it to koksticks though)

[Volksy]

But I am very well spoken

 

LOL

[Polystratus]

Here's some others:

 

Full of Win

Poggleswade

MOAR

Arseflakes

[Timewaster]

I seem to have picked up all of my autoshite-isms from Pog.

 

Bumhats!

 

I work with a old guy who regularly refers to things that displease him as a "COW'S C**T!"

 

Made me snigger the first time I heard it - and now have to stop myself repeating it regularly.

[Guest]

I found I use the term "Heather mills mcartney" gearbox instead of automatic these days. Cant remember which one of you to give credit for it though.

[Louise2cv]

I've only ever seen EVAH! on here.

 

I love all the plays on LOL ROFL etc.

[Pillock]

I actually said "Lollercopter" out loud at work and was greeted by a mixture of blank looks and pity.

 

I've dropped "evAr" into everyday use though. And pov. And I refer to my friend's MG as a Sherpa Coupe but mostly because it winds him up.

[j-j]

I first read the term poverty spec. in a 1996 Top Gear Used car price guide. It referred to the base spec BX14.

[Guest]

SCTSH_ANDY refers to filler as 'slap' quite a lot.

 

'Aye, slap', he says.

 

FATHA_WAT calls it 'bog'.

Hard G for me, all the way

[AnthonyG]

'Old giffer repair' whenever I see an gentleman of mature years getting into a car with missmatched overspray all over the front bumper to 'touch in' a scratch.

 

'Poggleswade' whenever I drive past the aforementioned town.

[Cheggers]

Oooh, can I also add "Sid & Doris" - The Autoshite generic term for couples of a certain age.

[Negative Creep]

Spaff/spaffage - exclamation on the discovery of a particularly interesting/attractive car

[cms206]

Dragging this out from some time ago, a colleague looked at me in utter bemusement earlier when I referred to a red Zafira as being "Pogweasel Pink"...

[RedSparrow]

I like the fact that some of us use a John Shuttleworth style 'Ooooff!' when seeing a motor we like.

And from Kunt and the Gang - 'fucksticks!'

[eddyramrod]

I find myself using tat, mustard mitt and keep-fit (as in windows, gearboxes, anything you have to operate manually) since I've been here. Not sure yet whether to thank you guys or curse you.

 

Thank, probably, as at least I've found somewhere that appreciates eastern-bloc motors and doesn't mind if a chap likes them just as much as he did his Cadillac and his Daimler! You know what they say about variety...

[John F]

GR7, GR9 and their various derivatives, although I believe those were imported from the MacDroitwich glossary (http://macdroitwich.wikkii.com/wiki/Main_Page)?

[jonny69]

An excellent bump if I may say so, and to think I was going to start a new thread like this to go with the Autoshite Quote of the Year thread. Some absolute classics in here that I shall endeavour to filter into everyday language.

 

No-one mentioned the word plop for filler. Love the term 'frilly' to describe something a bit crispy round the edges, and doily.

 

In engineering we used to say 'it's a bit Chinese quality' to describe something poor quality.

[michael t]

Iv found myself saying things like giffer spec when talkin about pensioner vehicles, saying GR8 (exagerrated space between GR - 8, or 5,6,7 etc) for describing if somethings good/bad. Also saying chod, tat and then saying if autoshite did clothes,TVs, computers etc....

[flat4alfa]

Heard myself muttering Giffer the other day. Gutted.

[John F]

If I had 2p for every time I've suggested that a non-autoshite person should 'hammer a slightly smaller xyz over it' (which usually earns me bemused looks). I'd possibly have enough for a standard-sized bag of Mini Cheddars.

[eddyramrod]

I haven't quite got to that yet. I am starting to think giffer though, so it's only a matter of time....

[catsinthewelder]

Great thread bump

 

Mrs C lol'ed the other day when I refered to tinworm.

 

We must be near 22 words now

[Timewaster]

A guy was talking about a Stag that would not start. He looked at me like I was mental when I sugested he hammer a Spitfire over it.

[vulgalour]

I do replace giffer with duffer in spoken sentences, as well as referring to doddery drivers as being duffers in their duffer spec cars. My brother just calls them coffin dodgers.

 

Another word (23 now?) for filler that we use is Boggo.

 

Thanks to Autoshite, I've taken to referring to my car as 'shite, but in a good way' and when it goes wrong it's not a problem it's 'interesting'. This doesn't seem to make my passengers feel any more at ease, if anything it makes them look slightly more nervous than before they saw the car.

 

Although I never say it out loud, quite often I'll find myself mentally adding an asterisk to the end of certain sentences, especially when telling somebody something they want to hear. That asterisk is my gift from Autoshite, and I thank you for it.

 

Edited to add: Ambastardor. I used that word today, so I think that counts now.

I like to refer to whatever rammle I'm driving about in at the time as "shite, not shit - there is a difference" which equally does absolutely nothing to make my passengers feel more at ease.

 

I also like to refer my 72 hours of Volvo 740 waftiness as "interesting", and since it's demise I refer to the car in general as "the comfiest place I've ever broken down".

[eddyramrod]

"Dry-bummed" and "bum-raped" are two I've picked up from here, and actually used too!
