Cos in the very first question I was evenly split between the two lists you had to choose from. Waaaah!
I know that only boring people are bored, but... here are some random definitions from my Dictionary of Slang:
Pinta (pron with i long). A pint of milk; sunce ca. 1962. Ex the slogan Drinka pinta milka day.
Sods' holiday: 'Everybody doing something they didn't ought to be' (Tansey, 1984); a complete confusion. Cf. "buggers muddle".
Flying tin-opener: The Hawker Hurricane fighter in its role as tank-destroyer: RAF: 1941+
Flying without a licence: Of a male, forgetfully leaving his fly buttons or zip undone: comprehensive schools': heard in Leicestershire and Sussex, 1977. Elab.: Flying low without...
The Flying Fornicator: The last express train home from London: in many English provincial towns, esp Oxford and Cambridge; earlier C20.
[Sorry, got caught in the flying pages... *g* How about one more...]
Pro-y: Professional; esp., of or like a professional prostitute; since ca. 1920. [Heeeee]
Okay this has actually cheered me right up - any requests?! *g*
