Christmas Slanguage

Christmas News: What with all the drink and the weird cousins and the over-eating, people hardly mean what they say at Christmas. So to help you guide through the minefield of innuendo, doublespeak and code, here’s our guide to some Christmas slanguage you may come across or need to employ. With thanks to the Poke Army for these slanguage beauties! Happy Christmas!
