"Fender-bender" (surprisingly, I've yet to see this used about Jimi Hendrix...) "Chortle", since it's the only word from Jabberwocky to have made it into English, and it sounds good. The re-engineered humbucking pickup called the "motherbucker". And of course, the Midlands town of Towcester, pronounced "toaster". Grab. |
