Subject: RE: BS: Origins and meanings of words and phrases
My mum used to say that such and such a person must be on a good screw = meaning: wage. It used to make me and my then husband snigger a bit.

My husband used to use the word 'shrammed' to describe being cold and wet through to the bone. My family and I had never heard of it.
