pasties
n.

The "a" is pronounced as in "cat". Probably a comparison to the type of flat cheese 'pasty' you could buy at the bakery. These were shoes that were flat-soled and dorky looking, usually made out of soft leather.

As an aside, we've just learned that in Australia "Pasties" (Pronounced as paste), is slang for a dry mouth. Usually after smoking pot! as in "I need something to drink, I've got the Pasties."

This is pressumably because of the paste like consistency of saliva, when dehydrated. not sure when this started, but possibly in the 1990's.

pat tash
012

Describes how an individual puts a finger down the back of his/her pants, digitally entering their own orifice, then wiping said finger on the top lip of an unsuspecting boy or girl (wimps usually the best option). This causes a constant smell of shit on the top lip of the victim throughout the day. Shouting out very loudly to the entire playground ‘Pat Tash’ and pointing can achieve added ridicule. Maybe it's just what happens growing up in Essex?
