Inspired by this great article by the fab Marina Hyde, I realised we had no facility to discuss our favourite tabloid phrases. 

I suggest 'romping' - particularly if it happened with a 'beau' you have 'stepped out' with in 'London's West End'. 

There are loads of them. This is the place to enjoy...

As Marina points out, some things 'leave nothing to the imagination'. Particularly the imaginations of 'right thinking people'.

'Decent people' = an absolute c**t you wouldn't leave in charge of a can of soup.

'Common sense' = thick, and proud of it.

'Ordinary Brit/long suffering English/old fashioned values' = salivating with excitement at the potential for importing Saudi Arabian style penal codes.

'Bring back National Service' = too young to have been conscripted into anything terrifying without consent, but once landed a punch in a pub fight.
