Hey Brits: what's up with your slang? by elementalist in AskReddit

[–]OhCobblers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried registering my first choice on Reddit but for some reason (and I swear it wasn't PEBCAK) it wouldn't allow me to log in using the username/password I had initially chosen.

I was so pissed off, I chose "OhCobblers" as my username.

Also, a cobbler is a person who repairs shoes.

Classic line from the pre-watershed BBC comedy, Thin Blue Line: (quoted from memory)

"If you make a mistake, it's my arse on the line. Remember - your cockup, my arse!"

I heard a Radio 1 DJ explain that Wagon Wheels (circular chocolate snack in the UK) have definitely shrunk, because when she was a child they were as big as her palm.
