History Of Space Caddett Terminology

Where and how did the term off tapp come from
i think ive got a fair idea but like to hear others..
and such terms as munted ... wellety wellety who does know??
and if any one would like to share other please do

What about gurning

Sketchamatitis

Apparantly Adelaide is the only place that uses the phrase " Off tap "

oh really...

its soo funny goin interstate and people have no idea wat u are on about when ya usin teh slang...

stobey pole always gets em

Chilli has Sketchamatitis

yup... no one in sydney uses it...

and Gurner was a Sydney term that mingrated to Adelaide... most likely (i think) through ITM using it...

Gurner is someone that's headed to the Gurney

Coopers being On Tap and you choosing to have something Off Tap

i remember a mate of of mine as long as 6 years using the term off tapp loosley
but always thought tom myself why is he saying it like that cos im under the impression the yanks say "feeling a little off tab" to say one is feeling sick can any one expand on that ...

...did any body get a bit side ways on the week end or go to any munterama festivals ...??

isnt gurning is the art ( art ? ) of being able to elastisise and contort ones face in ways unimaginag
like pulling your bottom lip over ure nose ( originating from uk)
????

Yes I believe your right Paul,
most ppl call off tap, ROLLING.

Gurning reveals that it is an ancient face-making contest which has its roots in Great Britain in the middle ages.

Nope - heard it everywhere in the UK long before I ever heard it in Adelaide.....

Gurner came from the UK too. Munted is another great English term I like

off taps been around for years as for its origin... I've no idea!! First time I heard the use of munted was new years eve this year and it seems to be used quite a bit now.

Its funny how many people look at me in confusion when I use the terms: Rolling, Pingin, Dialn Up, Flipped my Lid...hehe...
Its even funnier how many people look at me in confusion when I say "plur" to them... I then usually proceed to educate them in the meaning of plur...hehe.
For the record...Decepticon wins Gurner of the year hands down!

"Spangled" is one a good mate of ours used in London a lot - think he made it up himself..... I should get Mikee to write us a Essex Wide-Boy Space Cadet dictionary, be right good for a laff

i like pear-shaped, as in: "everything's pear-shaped"

don't hear it much lately..

my US friends use 'crunk' meaning really stoned and drunk..
