UK Prison Slang

Post by Anchor Moy »

More for the slang collecters.
Random sample:
John Wayne
This is prison-issue toilet paper, because it is so very tough, just like the cowboys played by the actor.

Kanga
Slang for a prison officer (kangaroo = screw). The word, is widely used in every prison in the country by cons.

Little fellas
A slang phrase for cigarette ends, the term is widely used in northern prisons, as in “Blimey, I’m dying for a smoke, you got any little fellas?”

LOB
Police acronym meaning “load of bollocks”, usually marked on forms and personal notebooks to indicate that the officer does not believe a word of what they are being told.

Samouth doesn't know any prison slang as Samouth has never been in handcuff and also never want to have been in.

BOFH, i have one slang for you to learn, គីគីលូ ហាហា។
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.
