Saga lout

Drunk, disorderly and retired. A binge-drinking pensioner, with a generous pension cheque and too much free time, drinking quantities of alcohol that would frighten even the most hardened of teenage yobs.

goffa

Derogatory. A mentally handicapped person, a retard. Possibly derived from the name of Heol Goffa 'Special' School in Llanelli, South Wales, however its use has spread much further afield. Its use can be accompanied by a special hand gesture and jib to emphasise the point: The jib is accomplished by placing your tongue in front of your bottom teeth and pushing your bottom lip outwards, and crossing your eyes. The hand gesture consists simply of slapping the back of one limp hand with the other.

Person 1: Shit, I just locked my keys in the car. Person 2: Hur hur, you goffa! *pulls face and slaps hand*

naws

v. Technical skills or know-how, see also The Knack. Pronounced to rhyme with mouse. Possibly from the Welsh word meaning quality.

You could take it back to the shop, or if you've got the naws there's a way to fix it yourself with a bent paperclip.
