A wag is a person with a dry sense of humour. A WAG is an acronym beloved of British tabloid newspapers, first used at ‘06 World Cup, often now used (to frustration of grammar nerds) as a noun, such as: “Latest hot pics of player ‘X’s WAG”. Invented by Dubai hotel staff in ‘02 (according to Google).

I remember hearing a punk version of Silent Night (UK punk, not The Dickies) on John Peel late 70’s which hilariously included the shouted line “HE KIPPED, IN ‘EAVENLY PEACE!”. I don’t think it’s listed here, but there might be some gems.

Don’t forget Imperial Bedroom, some absolute classics on that as well. We were so lucky to be young during that explosion of creativity.
