We used to have a saying here that I'm pretty sure was just made up by someone on an obscene amounts of drugs, thinking he'd invent something new for people to use that goes by the name of "mac boy". A mac boy is someone that acts shady in front of the police as if he has something to hide. I haven't used the term since school, but i feel it was worth mentioning never the less.

 

[33Hz]

Oh yeah, and when i used the term "gash" in the electronic music forum some bloke who i assume was American asked if i meant, trash. So that gets my votes as well just because it doesnt seem to be well known outside of the shithole that is the brit-ish isles.
