You've just done that, you old codger. 'Ave anuvver go, mate. :-)
Have I? Showing my age. :-(
Let's try:
Upper Seagry
Losing the contents of one's digestive system through the upper end, due to seasickness. The more inconvenient Lower Seagry is fortunately less common.

Tirstrup

A narrow band of cloth used to bind the feet after removing after removing an inconvenient thorn, drawing pin or Stickle Brick. The middle of the band is wrapped around the affected area of foot, then the loose ends are criss-crossed around the ankle and lower leg to above the point of the calf where they are knotted. A tirstrup is sturdy (it won't come off even if worn under heavy boots) and can act as a tourniquet if necessary (should the would be the result of snake bite, say).

Derwent

The technical definition of a long hike in heavy rain, usually through inhospitable moorland or over inconveniently large hills, either done by an organised group of people (almost invariably the Ramblers' Association) or over a route well-known enough to have become famous as a long-distance hike in its own right (e.g. the Pennine Way). Ian Botham's famous derwent from John O'Groats to Land's End raised masses of money for leukaemia research, but caused him to do enough long-term damage to his legs and lower back so as to pretty much ruin his cricket career a few years later. He was never the same player again.

Madrid

Thad fit of peak whereby you throw out a load of junk during a tidying session, only to regret it later.
