As with most trips the combination of over excitement and testosterone (less so from the poof) mixed with bikes and alcohol tends to lead to a special holiday-based dialect being made up with names and phrases evolving thoughout the time away. Here is a list of the nonsensical drivel we began to spout after a few beers and days in the sun.
Punter: Someone who is a tourist of life, no real individual character traits or unique interests, a good example of which is anyone who lives outside the M25. aka. a Basic.
Bezzie Dad Cam: A top of the line consumer model camera as owned by a dad, a stock example of a bezzie dad cam would be a D30 Digital SLR.
Punter Cam: A less impressive version of a Bezzie Dad Cam. Mid to low range digi point and shoot camera, usually from a well known jack of all trade company rather than a dedicated camera one.
The Poof: Adam's new nickname, hard to argue against it when you get heckled by transvestites on Las Ramblas. When a women with a cock questions your sexuality, its prob time to address the issue.
Poofy crap eyes: The poof in the morning.
Rupert: Robs alter ego, no not a wacky one with a catch phrase and daft fancy dress like a fresher in their first semester or some never was on RoadFools, but one that on a "Brits abroad lads booze and bikes wheay tour" bins off his mates on day one for a week long relationship.
Bezzie Trip Dad: Whoever owns the map is Bezzie Trip Dad. Ben and Ross were pretty much having a Bezzie Trip Dad off, all holiday. Bezzie Trip Dads also know a lot about everything, so Bezzie Trip Dad fact offs are also proving grounds for the title, even if you have to make things up, like a "Hyrdonosphone", like i did.
Captain Solo: See "rupert"
To Ross: Like an inverted bezzie trip dad, taking two weeks to fail to write a blog.
Easty: Ross Tepereks tripname. He's from Ukraine or something, not Leeds. I think Simon let him in.
Briefcase Wanker: Trip nickname for Chris. Pilfered from a now infamous line shouted at Will on the Inbetweeners. Chris is basically Will. Brilliant.
Giggsy: The full phrase will have to remain on the couch at Spooks where it originated, but even the short version works. "Giggsy" can be shouted to show appreciation of any affirmative physical action, be it putting a can in a bin, catching a frisbee, or, in its most appropriate use - kicking something. A true homage to the Brit abroad and lad culture, best washed down with a pint of Stella or Carling. For those not fully clued up with Punter "culture" Giggsy is the name of some lad who knocked a football about for the Great Britain team or something.
