Greater Tunaberg is sailing to NY, someone on these fora called her that
I think she is gr8 but one may make deliberate spelling mistakes in the cause of humour, I think calling her thus is ok

the commentariat

Today it is frequently assumed — by sections of the political class, by the educational establishment, by the commentariat — that anyone who feels uncomfortable with Islam and its beliefs and practices must be driven by a racial animus towards Muslims more broadly.
A Spectator article on how the OCR board disqualified a GCSE student for criticising halal meat, that she had made ‘obscene racial comments’ about Islam.

As I am quite refined, I would prefer "defecatery" and micturatery".
What should we call the hankerchief? "Snotteratery" is too confusing. Is it one or is not one?

Twitbookers.
A catch all term for those who cannot resist posting pictures of their meals, latest shopping purchases, grandchildren and all the other meaningless drivel that is either ignored or completely forgotten about tomorrow.

De-Royaled
“Prince Andrew has been de-royaled, if there is such a word,” said the historian and biographer Robert Lacey, an adviser to the acclaimed Netflix series The Crown. “At the risk of sounding melodramatic, I really would compare it to 1936 and the abdication of Edward VIII. What we are talking about is effectively the removal of a member of the royal family as a result of public opinion.”

NOS
Seen it a few times on these fora, I think it means New Old Stock
Are cycle parts still as good as new after twenty years in a box?
