Fog and British Slang
By Judy Green
Bob’s your uncle British equivalent of “et voila!”
Example: “Bob’s your uncle – you are out of the fog!”
Curtain Twitcher a nosey neighbour
Example: “If it had not been for the fog, she might not have been a curtain twitcher. Or a spy.”
Skew-whiff something that is askew. Often caused by fog or by being in one.
Example: “Is it just me or is that idea a bit skew-whiff? I think it’s conceptually foggy or perhaps I’m in a mental fog.”
Take the Biscuit something highly irritating, a nonexistent medal of foolishness.
Example: “They were in a self-induced fog and unfortunately took the biscuit.”
