Re: UKNM: UK Slang

[Sajid Mohammed]

The only UK slang that leaps to mind is 'Falco!' - coined by those

cocky slivers at NTK to describe another web company going to the wall.


Although it's not net-specific, I'm sure our Transatlantic friends

would appreciate the terms 'pear-shaped' and 'Pete Tong' to describe

when things go wrong.
