Betty Swollox

Betty Swollox is what is known as a spoonerism (in which the beginnings of two words are swapped), this means Sweaty Bollocks. A popular phrase in the summer, obviously!

Billy No Mates

A Billy No Mates is someone with no friends, during the 90s it was common to give names in the vein of Harry Enfield & Paul Whitehouse (two famous comedians) characters such as Unlucky Alf and Tim Nice But Dim!

Here's a bit of Unlucky Alf!

Britneys

"Do you fancy going for a few Britneys?" In a question like this Britneys refers to beers. Britney = Britney Spears = beers.

Dear John

A Dear John letter is a letter written to a man to end a relationship usually because the sender has found someone else. John is also generally used as an annonymous name for example: John Smith

Letters beginning like this were common during the war, as the soldier's girlfriend or wife found a new partner and servicemen called them Dear Johns.

Doris

"Doris Day" is cockney rhyming slang for gay.
A Doris is also a term supposedly created by city traders in the 80s to refer to women derogatorily, e.g I was going out with some Doris at the time. She's a bit of a Doris on the other hand means that the woman in question is ordinary.

Gordon Bennett

Gordon Bennett is often used as a mild expletive phrase in Britain, inter changeable with words like crikey or Jesus! Just who is Gordon Bennett though I often wondered? Gordon Bennett was in fact the wealthy son of a Scottish immigrant to the US of the same name who set up the New York Herald.

His outlandish behaviour (such as urinating into the fireplace at an extremely posh party)often led to scandals and it was most likely for this reason his name was chosen as a play on words of "Gor Blimey!" itself a variation of the phrase "God! Blind Me!"
