Tommy Vance in “Unfinished Business”

TVTommy Vance

Now while you're inside here, you're going to have to learn a whole new language. It's not French, it's prison slang, and I've got some of it written here, so it might help. [reading] "Howard's Arse" means prison. "One-nil at half-time" means food. "Woggy coconuts" means air bricks. "Gazza" is a gas-coin used as currency for cigarettes. "Plank sanction": a one-for-one fag exchange. "Sue my chin": give us a fag, I'll give you two next week. "Buff my pylon": give us a fag, you owe me two, so I'm letting you off the other one. "Don't buff my pylon": switch over the telly. Oh, and very important this one: "Portillo" means look out behind you.
