I had an interesting few minutes on Google before posting that. Apparently quite a lot of phrases that I know are specifically Essex things and I had no clue.

Apparently bombing around the circuit on a Friday night is a particularly Essex way of saying driving quickly around a circular route in town (usually with music pounding from a sub). I thought everyone used "bombing it", I suspect that most people know that one .

A particularly nasty one that I remember from school was calling a girl "butterface". Beth looked at me blankly just now with that one (I wasn't saying it at her BTW!)

Just had to look that up! Similar meaning to BOBFOC (Body Off Baywatch, Face Off Crimewatch)...

I was in our Brentwood office all Friday, and all i could hear every 5mins was "Thats going in my Basket".
