During a youthful LSD session, we invented Douglas Bader Football, which - you guessed it - involved running around after a ball in a stiff-legged manner. The humour was lost on me until after I'd come down. At the time I was paranoid as fuck and wondered what everyone was going on about, and why I didn't understand, and whether anyone would notice.

Another pithy annoyance (also see nothing) that everyone said for a week. This is the general format; "Would you like a crisp?" (packet offered) "Ooh, ta." "Go buy one." (packet casually withdrawn) I used the phrase myself, oblivious that it had gone out with the dinosaurs just moments before. The shame was unbearable.

Strangely uninsulting insult for boys with big heads. Almost Shakespearean.
