- H.A.G.S.

(ed: this one I'm embarrassed to say I had to ask the meaning for... obvious once you know of course... but I've added Scott's explanation almost verbatim - d'oh!)
I discovered this bit of slang, or more precisely, this acronym while perusing through my 13 year-old's school annual.
A considerable number of well wishes from his school chums ended with the letters H A G S. At first glance (and primarily due to poor penmanship), I thought it read, HUGS. It was only upon close examination and the concern on my part that some of these year end messages were from his male friends, that I realized that the letters were in fact, H A G S.
Could this possibly mean that all these sentiments were from less than attractive young ladies? Confused, I resorted to a most heinous act...I asked my son what it meant.
After enduring the " I can't believe your asking me this, rolling the eyeballs to the heavens" pre-teen stare, he replied simply, "H ave A G reat S ummer."

Used on somone being annoying, or "talking rubbish" as in "Awh, haddaway and shite man". It is term from the dialect from Yorkshire (UK) which in fact means "Please leave my immediate vicinity and defecate.". Has nothing to do with the singer called Haddaway. Toby says the following about this definition:
In your translation of "haddaway and shite" you state that this comes from a "place called Yorkshire", now, anyone with either half a braincell or the slightest idea about England would know that it comes from Newcastle, actually on the other side of the country....numbnuts...sort it out.
