Definition

British media began referring to the wives and girlfriends of famous footballers as WAGs in the early-to-mid 2000s. The first use of the term likely occurred in 2002, but it rose to prominence during the 2006 World Cup, when the media often used WAGs to refer to Victoria Beckham (wife of David Beckham), Cheryl Cole (now Cheryl Ann Tweedy, former wife of Ashley Cole), and other notable footballers' paramours.

sharpeties

A delightfully British-sounding collective noun for a bunch of dangerous pointy things that really should be in a sharps container but somehow ended up loose in your bin. Think broken glass, pins, and that random razor blade you swear you threw away properly. It's like a treasure hunt, except the treasure is tetanus.

book it

To evacuate a location with extreme urgency and speed, usually because something bad is about to go down. Born from the idea of 'booking' or moving fast, it's the universal signal that it's time to make yourself scarce. Perfect for when authority figures appear or awkward situations arise.
