  4 Legendarily unwashed band from the early 90s: perhaps best known for starting a trend among middle-class teenagers from well-off households for attaching the family dog to a piece of string, dreadlocking your hair, and walking around your local city pretending to be homeless.

  5 A deliberately vague Facebook status, often serving as a cry for help, or attention, and prompting your friends to ask you what is up: e.g. ‘Sadie is so fed up with *some* people’.

  6 I don’t believe the pot-bellied pygmy goat is an actual breed; these are just pygmy goats who eat a bit too much.

  7 See the ever-popular ‘Fruzz Bird’ – for which you will need the following ingredients:

  2. A cat.

  3. A light breeze.

  4. An open first-storey – or higher – window.

  5. Some fruzz.
