Tugger Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 If anyone there could pop along to the Shackleton cockpit section down from Coventry and say "Tugger says hello" to my friend Mark, He'd appreciate the support. He's a big fella, little hair and a top chap. Cheers:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 loaded up the Cromwell today and it should be down there for midday tomorrow Worth going just to see Rick and the Cromwell,oh and course Andy as well. - strange name on the tank, have Googled it but no luck in finding what it means :undecided: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 ...- strange name on the tank, have Googled it but no luck in finding what it means :undecided: Try the urban slang dictionary - SHUFTI: [TABLE=width: 600] [TR] [TD=class: text, colspan: 2]A word of Arabic origin meaning "look!" Was brought back to Britain after the Second World War by returning soldiers who had learnt the word from Arab peddlars of dirty postcards. The peddlars used to keep the postcards hidden inside their coats and would show them to soldiers saying "Shufti, shufti!" - "Look, look!" "Take a shufti at this!"[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] As for Cush - could be the superlative meaning (northeastern origin?). So Shufti Cush might translate as 'Take a look at this top banana tank' Mind you, Del Boy could have been influencial here..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff66 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 jack you really did not know that *having a shufti* meant having a look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 What surprised me was that it had wartime (to the UK) origins - I'd always assumed it was part of todays - or very recent - street talk (harsh). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 See post 415 on the Cromwell blog, although it is definitely look rather than show I would agree with the translation of cush but I think the term 'fanny' is slang for different parts of the body depending on whether you are British or American.

No Jack, it's ''lets have a look at your f***y''. Rick kindly let me drive it round the arena today. The arena needed to be bigger, then I could have got into 4th and it would have been better if it hadn't conked out in the arena entrance upon leaving! Sorry Rick!

Lauren Child Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 No Jack, it's ''lets have a look at your f***y''. Rick kindly let me drive it round the arena today. The arena needed to be bigger, then I could have got into 4th and it would have been better if it hadn't conked out in the arena entrance upon leaving! Sorry Rick! Having been educated (thanks chaps, I think) I found it on the internet (my eyes!). There is an interesting and educational passage in "A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English" By Eric Partridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
