‘Frit’

[solidified gruel merchant]

People are actually twats aren't they?
"Ooh legend Boris used a word you don't hear much these days. I must dutifully also use the new word in sentences and then some of  the pm's magic might rub off on me. I am shit and a disgrace."
I feel like I'm having knitting needles driven into my ears when I hear this guff.

Do you remember when Britain was cool?

[Johnny Yesno]

Do you remember when Britain was cool?

Cool Britannia: mad frit.

[BlodwynPig]

Dont fret, just frot with your frat and have a laqer

[touchingcloth]

Apart from Johnson using it a week or so ago, I've never heard anyone use it. Have people really started trying to work it into conversations? And because they admire him? What sort of company do you keep?

[solidified gruel merchant]

I have heard it used on radio phone ins and read it in Facebook posts. I have come to the inescapable conclusion that this country fucking loves Boris. He's the perfect fit. Made for each other.

Hypocrite!

[Brian Freeze]

Thanks for the warning, although constantly thinking about not saying it does mean I will probably be blurting it out inadvertently quite soon. Any tips on how to avoid doing this?

[Cuellar]

Frit for cunts

[Brian Freeze]

Do people still put them down their trousers?

[Huxleys Babkins]

It's one of those words that thick as mince cunts hear their Tory heroes using and then co-opt it to convince themselves they are part of the ruling class whilst they get robbed blind.

It's use wasn't for the public, more for the MPs in Parliament - he's tying himself to Thatcher who used it when she forgot herself and descended into local Lincolnshire dialect words. Dennis Skinner used it on May last year and it's started to be used in parliament again, is all.

Exactly. They watched jealously as corbyns name was chanted at concerts and football matches.
"Why can't I have a hero?" They wailed. And then there was Boris. Plummy voice, stupid hair, ill-fitting suits and an ability to portray himself as an underdog despite all the facts.

[madhair60]

I say "frit" quite a lot because I find it funny. "ooh, he frit me then". I'll stop if Boris does it

Well no, that isn't 'all' otherwise I probably wouldn't have bothered to make this posts bemoaning the increasing use of the word by the general public.

I don't think it's only from Lincolnshire, my grandfather used it in normal conversation regularly and he would certainly never have willingly come from Lincolnshire.

They love collective idiocy and pack mentality

[BlodwynPig]

Ps. What does it mean? Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way

[Buelligan]

Fritter has nowt to do with frit, as I assume you know full well pig.

Here are some impact fritters on the dark side of the Moon.

Ps. What does it mean? Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way

It's a way of saying frightened.
"Boris' vacant stare as he came at me trousers down frit the life out of me."

The English Dialect Dictionary suggests that it was concentrated in the (East) Midlands, but it was attested all the way across southern England from Devon to Kent a hundred years ago. I suppose it will only have survived in a subset of the places where people continued to say 'fright' instead of 'frighten'.

[timebug]

My dad used it once in a while and he came from Staffordshire. And a bloke I once worked with used it, and he was from Chesterfield.

[TrenterPercenter]

Can I just say I have never said the word frit (and yes this is just an attempt to make you all feel inferior).

PS - OP it isn't Johnson's word it is a "famous" quote from zombie Thatcher he has has just recycled it appear to give the faragists the horn/
