the bizziez/bizzys

being an ex bizzy i know where that phrase comes from, when we had prisoners in the cells they would always be shouting "boss, boss" every minute wanting a light for their ciggy, or wanting a lawyer, or finally deciding they wanted the police surgeon to apply stitches to the injury suffered while falling down the stairs,

the police would just shout back "fuck off, I'm busy" hence the name bizzies coming into force

twirlie for old ladies comes from using their bus passes, the pensioners could only use their passes after 10am i think, if they tried to get on before that the driver would say "too early girls" which would obviously sound like twirlie girls

With time I noticed that


your=you are.

Your= you are. is incorrect . thats just lazy typing(or ignorance) . You are abreviated should read "You're"

The word YOUR = belonging to .

Many people (including me) use "your " when they should be using "you're"

:(
