One of my favourite Monty Python sketches. Utterly brilliant.
- Good morning, I'd care to purchase a chicken, please.
- Don't come here with that posh talk you nasty, stuck-up twit*.
- I beg your pardon?
- Ah, chicken sir. Certainly. Here we are!
- Thank you. And how much does that work out to per pound, my good fellow?
- Per pound, you slimy trollop*? What kind of a ponce* are you?
- I'm sorry?
- 4.6 a pound, sir - nice and ready for roasting.
- I see, and I'd care to purchase some stuffing in addition, please.
- Use your own, you great poofy* poonagger*!
- What?
- Ah, certainly sir, some stuffing.
- Oh, thank you.
- Oh, thank you' says the great queen like a la-di-dah* poofter*.
- I beg your pardon?
- That's all right sir, call again.
- Excuse me.
- What is it now, you great pillock*?
- Well, I can't help noticing that you insult me and then you're polite to me alternately.
- I'm terribly sorry to hear that, sir.
- That's all right. It doesn't really matter.
- Tough titty* if it did, you nasty, spotted prancer*.
Dictionary:
twit - According to Oxford Student's Dictionary: a foolish person.
trollop - A woman who plays innocent like she don't have sex and she don't like cock, but in reality, sleeps with every dude she lays eyes on. Says things before engaging in a one-night tryst like :"I don't want you to think I am a whore." or "Don't worry, I know what I am doing."
ponce - Term originated in the UK and came to prominence in the 1960's, initially to describe a pimp. In Spanish it means "prince" and could have either been referring to the fancy, over-the-top clothing and jewelry popular with pimps, or because he was surrounded by a harem of women, involved in the underworld, but usually not the actual "king" of the area (he had to pay tribute to use the block or neighborhood).
Now it is generally used to refer to someone (usually a male) who dresses in nicer clothing and acts in a polished fashion; often interchangable with fag or pussy, but not necessarily as derogatory: a ponce is not necessarily homosexual, nor are they necessarily passive or weak, but they would tend to be thought of as metrosexual or gay in their manner of dress.
poofy --> poof - a man who is gay or is acting really queerly.
poonagger - no idea, probably comes from poo+nagger --> poo - shit; nagger - someone (especially a woman) who annoys people by constantly finding fault (Wordnet Dict.).
la-di-dah - affectedly genteel; pretentious (thefreedictionary.com).
poofter - another word for homosexual.
pillock - noun for Idiot, fool. Originally a slang term for the penis but fairly inoffensive now its this meaning has been forgotten.
tough titty - an insincere or sarcastic way of saying "that's too bad", or "deal with it".
prancer - a gay boy; someone who likes other men; see homo or queer.
