I mean really…wtf?

Portion = large 
‘Television’ The word is half-Greek, half-Latin. No good can come of it …
Attributed to C P Scott (1846-1932)

I’m with Jim’s missus on this one.
I like the origin of Nottingham.
“When it fell under the rule of a Saxon chieftain named Snot it became known as “Snotingaham”; the homestead of Snot’s people (-inga = the people of; -ham = homestead)”
Snot is funny.

I would settle for “Crambazzled Futtocks” in place of my current “Urinal Cake”, that’s for sure.
Did I really just type that?
