mental mick
n.

Mental Mick was a strapping 16 year old when we were 10-11 (ish). He didn't have a Mum and lived with his Dad. He was an arrant bully and was always going to "get" someone. If you were the person that Mental Mick had singled out for this treatment, you lived in fear, because he would suddenly appear in the middle of a game of football or 'run-outs' and administer a severe whacking.

Mental Mick was once after me. I was petrified for at least two weeks. One afternoon, outside my house, Mental Mick "got" me. Just as my Mother, a short and round woman of whom you would never suspect a violent streak, had come to call me in for tea. She gave him the hiding of his life. He never lived it down , and I got away with it as I hadn't gone crying to her, she had simply chanced upon the encounter.

(ed: I could have done with a mum like that)
