Harvey Nichol is London Cockney rhyming slang for pickle (plight).
An excessively stupid or unpleasant person. Derived from Joey Deacon an elderly man suffering from cerebral palsy who regularly featured on television 1980-85. Another contributor supplied the following entered verbatim: To infer that the recipient was, in some manner, mentally impaired or stupid, In widespread use (in my experience) throughout London schools in the early 1980's. Derives from Joey Deacon, an unfortunate, severely mentally handicapped man featured on children's TV show Blue Peter. Or rather, thrown in front of a camera crew & routinely patronized once a week by Simon Groom & his lover, platinum quadruped Goldie. Originally intended to improve children's understanding of the plight of the disabled. Failed. Alan wasn't too impressed with the above - also entered verbatim: I appreciate that the additional entry is verbatim from the contributor, but there are two main errors in it. First he means "imply" and not "infer" - a common mistake by joeys - and also states that Joey Deacon was severely mentally handicapped. In fact he suffered from cerebral palsy (as your main entry states) which is a physical handicap not a mental one. I would add that, round my way, the preferred gesture to accompany the call of "Joey Deacon!!" (for some reason we always used the full name) was to clap the backs of the hands together, in imitation I suppose of a physically handicapped person. Nice.

Male person who is usually dressed in blue singlet, pair of stubbies, thongs (if not barefoot) and spends most of his time drinking, fishing, being loud- and foulmouthed, watching the footy and usually drives an old ute or V8 panel van too fast with swag in the back and beercans on the floor.
Swaddler is derogatory Irish slang for a Protestant.
Playground punishment consisting of a hard slap on the forehead.
This was a supposed football hooligan gang in mid 80's Newcastle that may pupils aspired to belong to. Similar to the 'Casuals' of Edinburgh, although no direct evidence that they ever actually existed and therefore may have been purely imaginary. However, being denoted a dresser was one of the highest accolades a playground thug could achieve. The attire of an aspirant dresser consisted of: Farrah 'dress pants', black flecked with red and yellow; pastel shaded LaCoste polo shirt; coloured 'sea-sider' deck shoes; and Barber waxed jacket. On school days the LaCoste would have to be substituted for a white nylon job with the tie done up in as big a knot as possible, rather like some plebian cravat. The look is best described as a proto-Alan Partridge effect.
