When our youngest was just a small girl- she used to invent words. Some of them passed into the vocabulary of our friends and family. Some of them, like dialect words, lose something in the "translation"- you just KNOW what they mean by the sound of them!! Yop be honest, I've forgotten a lot of them- but one really sticks in my mind- NOOFAH!!! I can't translate it- but Rioch is a Noofah to end all Noofahs!!! (So now you'll know what one is!!) Does anyone else know any good invented or obscure dialect words that would apply to anyone in the squad?

I sent this "New Salop Dictionary" to the Matchday commentators the other week (just after the Tamworth game, as the O'connor reference would imply), but I haven't heard them use any of the words yet -
Quinn (noun). A very old person who is capable of surprising everyone with a prolonged display of youthful exuberance or skill. Don’t be deceived by Grandpa. He’s a real quinn when he gets on the dance floor.
O'Connor (verb). To charge around brainlessly, continually trying to amputate the opposition’s kneecaps with your studs. He o’connored his way to an early bath.
Gregor (verb). To kick the ball with maximum power, but minimum accuracy. The left-back gregored it into the toilets.
Rioch (noun). An extremely large back-side. I haven’t seen such a huge rioch since the Scarborough game.
Aiston (verb). To slalom rapidly down the wing, leaving opponents trailing in your wake.
Sammy (verb). To mis-kick or shin the ball. He aistoned his way down the left wing, and sammyed it into the advertising hoardings.
Redmile (noun). A slow and ponderous turning manoeuvre, as performed by extremely large objects. The ferry was 3 hours late leaving, because a super-tanker was doing a redmile in the harbour.
Telford (noun). Something nasty and disgusting. Mind you don't tread in that telford!

Brilliant, Selleck- I'm still laughing! It's a slant I hadn't thought of- and some other posters may be able to add to your "New Salop Dictionary". For instance-
Ratcliffe (verb) To take over or inherit something and make a complete mess of it. " He over the Grimly and Dodderington Working Men's Club and completely Radcliffed it." "I would bequeath my priceless Ming vase to Tracey, but I fear that she would only Ratcliffe it"

Fullofbull – To talk at length without taking breath. Example “That Bobby robson interview was a bit fullofbull eh?”
Sim – Fat and useless. Example “Redmile had promise but turned out to be a bit too Sim for our liking”
Mattsnapper – To go missing but re-appear with a vengeance. Example “I tell you what, Blondie did nothing for ten years, but they made a Mattsnapper of a return with Maria”
JP – To be a bit womanly. Example – “Am I wrong, or is Dale Winton a bit JP?”
Wiggy (WiganShrew) – To make completely random, but interesting statements. Example “I wish these MP’s would get a bit more Wiggy on Question Time rather than the usual predictable nonsense”.

Tee-hee! I think that's very true, Welshrew!! I admit to that! Let's see now- TBH- (verb) To TBH something would mean to attempt to create some order out of someone else's chaos- or to elequently re-phrase something that was very badly expressed. "The letter to the Star had some good points, but needed to be completely TBHed before we could consider sending it." "The place was in such a mess, it had to be completely TBHed"

JP (verb) -to put up displays of desirable women. "One wall of Kevin's bedroom was completely JPeed!" (or "He JPeed all over his room!" ) Pilch (verb) -to catch someone on camera doing something they didn't want to be caught doing (or alternatively looking like a dog's breakfast.) To make people terribly unphotogenic. "I see they pilched that M.P with the call-girl." " Did you see that picture of Posh? It really pilched her!" Charlese- (noun) A rare and understated word of wisdom. "The commitee were argueing and talking rubbish as usual, but now and again, someone uttered a charlese."
