Eh?

Ahh yes, there was a typo which i can no longer edit, it happens . I'll retype it.

You don't half talk yourself so far into a hole that the only thing anybody can see is the cone on top of your head.

Hope that makes more sense.

Lee Anderthal carrying on the great Brexiter tradition of being a thin skinned snowflake. 😂

He's cool with the Gbeebies tattoo though, so good for him.

I wonder what The Spectator put into an AI generator for that?

"Someone who looks a bit like the guy from Up who skipped leg day and gets mad about Germans putting their towels on deck chairs ahead of them"?

This is obviously wrong and Lee Anderson doesn't understand the concept of being self employed, but more telling I think is that he also doesn't seem to know the colloquial term for electrician. What the hell is a 'leccy'?

The term “leccy” is in common use in this area.

Ah well, it's certainly not a term I'd heard before. To describe a person anyway.

I've heard "sparks" for a person 'round here. Leccy is what comes out of the sockets.

Yes, I hear "Sparks" too, mainly the youngsters (my grandchildren) who use "Leccy"

Call a sparky to fix the leccy.

Excellent! You have the lingo (or, whatever the “in” word is now )

So a leccy is not a person?

Depends!

 

[albion]

Not quite slang, as much an abbreviation. Sparky is certainly slang. Up north, leccy is/was more common than sparky.

As I said above, the “younger” people in this area use “leccy” for Electrician.

Bear in mind, I am 76 going on 77, when interpreting the word “younger” 😊
