~Playground Law~

Whilst trying to keep myself amused at work I remembered a classic 'gag' from school and decided to use it on an un expecting colleague.

It goes like this...

I ask: Jenny have you got skill?
Jenny: Ya man!
Me: What? African bum disease...!!(no racism involved, I was 10 when originally said)

Well I pissed myself laughing and all jenny could say was 'What da onerbaat?' which is Sheffield yardie speak for 'What do you mean?'.

So to prove that I hadn't made it up and there was some sort of reasoning for my childish outburst I reverted to the good old Internet in search of proof. It is then when I discovered this masterful website.

www.playgrounglaw.com - sorry still working out how to put links on.

I want to share a couple of corkers from there with you...

Can I have a 'p'please bob.
During the height of the inexplicable Blockbusters mania of the eighties, it became a common "dare" in the class of a teacher - first name Robert - to ask "Can I have a 'P' please, Bob?" when you needed to go to the bogs. Sometimes you'd even get away with this. Unlike the perennial antagonist, Marty Halford, who once got a bit too excited, and asked "Bob, can I have a wank?".

Cack
"Cack" was our word for excrement - solid, liquid, cold or still steaming.

Camel Fart
At lunch we had a chalkboard with the days lunch on, allowing easy alterations. Caramel Tart became Camel Fart, which meant i laughed for pretty much the rest of the week.

Please check out the site I'm sure it will have some of your delights from yester year.

Ahh good old school.
