    I suspect that this thread might still be running when they've moved on to a new variation of our wonderful language.

    I've recently noticed a new insult in my part of the world amongst Uni students. I don't know if it's local of more widespread but they've started using mushroom as in What a mushroom or he/she is such a mushroom, you're such a mushroom etc.

    Heard of "plank", but never "mushroom" :rotfl: /down south
