Kinky Afro is an example of a pleonasm, e.g. a phrase which contains one or more elements which are redundant, in this case an afro is by definition kinky.Other examples include free gift, unexpected surprise and sycophanitc Blairite.
Ironically, Kinky Afro was a hit for the Happy Mondays, which is an oxymoron. Next: free gifts |
|
By:
Free gifts are synonymous with free lunches and everyone knows that there is no such thing.
The nearest I came to receiving free gifts was as a child at Christmas but since I had to be on my best behaviour for three months in the run up to Christmas (or santa will not come) it hardly counts. Next: BOGOF |
|
By:
Bogof is actually a misspelling for Bogov who was a famous Russian general in a previous century.
He never lost a battle for the simple reason that he never fought one. Was renowned for his gambling exploits in the casinos of Chechniya. Eventually succeeded by **ov. next : baboushka dolls |
|
By:
Ok - so nobody fancies Baboushka dolls ( too deep , too multi-layered)... can I nominate another
topic( required , I take it , to be related to the one before)? Russian Roulette. |
|
By:
The game of roulette did not sit easily with communist ideas about communality of property and equal provision for all. Thus, in a typical game of Roulette in, say, Novosibirsk, players would each be handed 37 state-owned playing *****(actually small seed potatoes or vodka bottle tops were often used), and under the watchful eye of the KGB, would place one on each number, thus ensuring equality for all comrades.
Next: Texas Hold'em |
|
By:
Originating in the backwoods of Texas, 'Hold'em' was an annual competition to see who could hold on to the most pieces of fried chicken without dropping them. It was generally won by the contestant with the most fingers.
next: Mississipi Mud Pie |

There is a concensus that there is far too much licence on tv. This licentiousness has to be stamped out before it rends the fabric of the perishing universe. I believe that Mary , George's head maid at the Whitehouse ( a good Christian woman,) is threatening to lace his coffee unless he moves on this. In France you get a free licence with every degree...makes 'em worth something I suppose.
Others maintain that since licence means freedom , TVs should be licence-free. |

|
By:
RWZ is short for Royal Welsh Zulus and refers to the group of African tribesmen who after regretting their actions at Rorkes Drift, made reparation by emigrating to the valleys and joined male voice choirs. Most settled in the Pontypridd area which continued its association to this day by being twinned with Ulundi in South Africa
next: Michael Caine |

By:
Not a lot of people know that Michael Caine first said "Not a lot of people know that" in Educating Rita. Did you know that?
Next: Did you know that? |
|
By:
Did you know that Michael Caine had a one line cameo in the film Crossroads. Britney Spears is trying to impress him in a bar and thrusts her breasts in his direction.
"Don't you point those...bloody Spears...at me!" he said. Next: Virgins |

By:
Virgins of the Chit Chat forum, may be unaware what a very amusing thread this is. That is, if they have the intelligence to understand the humour that lays within it.
Next: "Don't ask me... I'm thick." |
|
By:
Chris Eubank was once rushed to hospital with suspected appendicitis. Whilst waiting for admittance he was asked when his next title bout would be. He replied, "Don't ask me ....I'm thick"
Next Famous amputees |
|
By:
The famous Amputees were a travelling circus troupe who specialised in acrobatics on the high wire. Having only one arm or leg never hindered them until they appeared as a pre-show act at the Beatles Shea Stadium concert. The catcher was just about to recieve his one legged sister as she came out of a triple somersault when he saw George Harrison waving at him. He became so excited that he forgot he only had one arm and waved back. The troupe disbanded shortly afterwards, and years later it was revealed George was trying to attract the hot dog salesman but John had jogged his arm.
Next - Cunning stunts. |

By:
A lot of famous amputees are armless enough, but the rest of us should keep well clear when these armless ones get legless as well...

Next: Hartley Hare |
|
By:
Hartley Hare was the older brother or 80's Rugby Union star Dusty Hare. Some say he would have been one of the worlds greatest Rugby players himself if he had not been only 4 foot 2 tall. But do not feel sorry for the talented Hartley has he made a fortune playing Tattoo in the broadway version of Fantasy Island. Ricardo Montablanc was often heard to say that if he had been 2 foot taller he could have been the new Olivier or Bill Beumont.
