Yeah, pretty much. And that one snowballed primarily because it's so hilariously apt. The comparison was first made by Dickens, apparently.


Nicholas Nickleby, indeed.

" "‘The meaning of that term — gammon,’ said Mr Gregsbury, ‘is unknown to me. If it means that I grow a little too fervid, or perhaps even hyperbolical, in extolling my native land, I admit the full justice of the remark. I AM proud of this free and happy country. My form dilates, my eye glistens, my breast heaves, my heart swells, my bosom burns, when I call to mind her greatness and her glory.’”

I'm not sure whether it's drawn from that, or whether it's appeared on its own and it just so happens that the current users weren't the first to draw the comparison.

I suspect the latter.

So do I. Especially as the modern usage is, I think, slightly more inspired by the red-faced complections of resting old white guys on Question Time. So not quite the same thing.

When I drive colleagues to the pub on Fridays, I managed to be grown up a couple of times but now find myself unable to avoid going the other way - down Cockshot Road. I shout "Cockshot!" as I do so, obviously.

A distance in the other direction is Bell End.

I'd like to think that as you do so, you punch one of your colleagues in the dick.

I dated a girl once and the only reason I dropped her off home was so that I could drive past the street near her house that was called Bellend.

I think the real crime is that so many of you think that salad cream is a viable alternative to mayo.

The only thing mayo is good for is tuna mayo. Otherwise salad cream wins out every time.

Mayo for eating.

Salad cream for putting in the bin.

I'm sure I saw something the other day about them re-branding salad cream as sandwich cream or something. And someone (I presume on twitter) dug out some promotional shots from the early 2000s with some very saucy (fnar) photos with Graham Norton and Denise Van Outen.

Ah found it:
