Apologies: above typed in in an excessive hurry, and the glossary fell out. * Bullingdon Club: a bunch of posh Oxford ne'er-do-wells who went around causing havoc to victims' college rooms, then paying for the damage. Past memberships include two recent English Prime Ministers. * The Grue: a monster which appears in certain text-based computer games, typically in deadly phrases like "A grue eats you". * PMQs: Prime Minister's Question time in the English Parliament (a modern form of bear bating). Hope that helps.
