One of the two sides (the other being called Tissnington) in a dispute that has degenerated into exchanges of "Tis!" and "Tisn't!" Hansard, 6 December 1878: "Uproar in the House, followed by Tissington-Tissnington that continued for fully twenty minutes."

Poznan

Asserting the affermative to noe's grandmother.

Purton

Trade jargon, referring to the price of bulk industrial chemicals, eg methanol is about £200 Purton. (Softers) 'Oo's this noe, then? Noe needs to know. :-)

Mortlake

Yorkshire dialect meaning: "There is still a considerable amount of time before the final whistle." [Rosie] it were just a tpyo, mate.

Blunsdon

A cock-up, a hash, a pig's breakfast, as in, "You made a right Blunsdon of that, didn't you?" Also, the act of removing with extreme prejudice the person responsible for such an event, or a person marked for such removal. The word comes from Viscount Blunsdon, eldest son of Lord Cox-Bramley, who, rightly fearing that his heir lacked the business acumen to manage the family estates at such time as he might inherit, attempted to train him up by setting him to such tasks as managing the piggery, inspecting the drains, and collecting rent from the tenant farmers, but he displayed a complete lack of competence and initiative at everything his hand was set to. It was during the last of these appointments that he met an untimely end at the bottom of a well. Foul play was never proved, Lord Cox-Bramley's more industrious second son took his place in the line of succession, and everyone was satisfied.
