I've usually heard this as an adjective, e.g. "School food was a load of old pony" rather than a noun or a verb.

This thread has changed course a bit, hasn't it? :lol:

I can't remember any CH euphemisms for bodily functions.......you didn't normally broadcast your...erm movements :roll: .....coz you would probably get water hurled over the top of the cubicle or some other misfortune.

Euphemisms really weren't our thing, were they?

Re. the water thing. Yes, I remember that - but at least it didn't matter if the old-fashioned hard bog roll got wet. Not exactly absorbent.....

Certainly no good after a curry, but, then again, what passed for 'curry' at C.H. was not exactly challenging in the spice department.

I think it's safe to say that anyone who copped a dose of the 'two bob bits' was in for a difficult time!
