Yes
While reading the thread on Lorries, I saw this comment from Brash and had a good laugh:

..............and not to forget the scone hunters that drive around country roads at 20mph.:rage::rage::rage:

It's not a term I've heard before and I can't find it in any of the slang or urban dictionaries, so is it a newly made up derogatory term and have you any more that you use yourselves? An explanation would always help of course. :sneaky:
 
:D:D Glad it brought a smile china;)

My wife's sister was the first I heard use it so I assumed she had made it up. Basically just means the blue rinse brigade (there's another term) ie the elderly who drive about the countryside at annoyingly slow speeds while hunting down some quaint little tearooms to go for a cuppa and a scone. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, I hate them (the hunters not the scones:)).

Yes, I read that, got no idea what he means tho' although 20mph is fast enough on some of the lanes round here :)

We have a term to describe certain gentlemen... " one who bowls from the Greenford end" but it's not really derogatory more of a subtle description, as in
"Mike's a bit of a hunk, is he seeing anyone?"
"Save your breath Jane, he bowls from the Greenford end."
I've no idea of it's origin.
 
For as long as I can remember, I've used the phrase "Been on more laps than a napkin" to describe young...ahem...ladies with a certain reputation :-)
 
Scrivens!!

Very much like saying someone bats for the other side.

In the context of driving, I usually refer to the Scone Hunter above by the name Slug-Brain (as in "get a move on, slug-brain") on the basis that slugs are not noted for their quick and nimble movement.

Well, the BMW 1 Series driver who lost the mirror he didn't use (might have encouraged it off with a paw...) probably heard me call him a ladygarden. OK, I called him a c*** but (hopefully) the sweary filter will pick the C word up!
 
Brash could have his own dictionary for the stuff he spouts ..... Often :D :D

Scone hunters would be referred to as coffin dodgers around here.

They're not always elderly. I don't understand why they drive on narrow country roads, they're clearly uncomfortable on them doing 15-20 and almost coming to a standstill every time there's an oncoming vehicle. Just stick to the roads with a white line down and street lights for god sake

Isn't Button Moon also a euphemism (and if not, it should be)? :exit:

Known colloquially as "grippers" here - as-in "gripping onto life".
 
I alsways remembered this as a good sketch

...a man who by his own admission is a liar, a humbug, a hypocrite, a vagabond, a loathsome spotted reptile and a self-confessed chicken strangler...

...a scrounger, parasite, pervert, a worm, a self-confessed player of the pink oboe...
 
Locally, anyone from Sheppey is known as a Fraggle :-)
 
Did you know Michael Winner is responsible for the popularity of Grockle. Apparently he used it in the derogatory term in the film The System in the 60's after hearing it when filming in Torquay.
 
These are all good, so keep them coming! It has also reminded me that we have a local duo called the Scone Fairies, and I thought that was a strange enough name. o_O

Got to admit that people driving too fast on country roads upsets me a LOT more than people driving too slow. What's the collective noun for a bunch of people who moan about slow drivers? How about a "Clarkson" ?
 
:plusone:

Having been brought up and doing a lot of formative miles along narrow lanes, I soon realised that while going faster could possibly save a minute or 2 over a 30 mile trip, it could all too easily end up taking far longer should one meet a tractor/horse/cyclist/pedestrian/clump of horse crap and end up in the hedge! Fortunately, the only time I had a problem was when I was in my 90 Defender and I was travelling at a reasonable speed (as in I could stop within my visibility). The 4x4 coming the other way was going too fast though and while I had time to pull over as far as possible and stop, he skidded along and touched my bumper. End result was a tiny scratch in (not through) the galvanizing on my bumper and significant cosmetic damage to assorted plastic trim and bodywork on his (actually his [VERY unimpressed!] boss's) car.
 
Teuchter!
 
Having been out and about this afternoon, there was nearly a pile-up of about a dozen cars when the lead one suddenly decided to make an emergency stop when they saw the "Pick your own fruit" sign. Luckily we were all suitably spaced for a steady 60 on a main road, but what would be a suitable term for the fruit people I wonder?

Same here, but I quite like scone hunters, might have to start using that one - well, at least until I become one anyway :D
