When even Mrs Al is laughing out loud at an entry (not mine!) you know it's quality.

CathroStokes Syndrome
A condition in which startlingly contrasting fortunes cause the individual to fret incessantly about their worst fears for the future or to look forward with anticipated joy.
One of the world's rarest conditions in that it can bring the patient either extreme anxiety or extreme satisfaction depending upon whether or not they are poppy thieves.
Dalymation - An animal best known for obeying its master
Daly Record
1. Low quality tabloid
2. Quick time for negotiating stairs in sports stadia.
Dalry Lama - A much persecuted and ridiculed visionary - unfortunately for this individual at the hands of his own followers and supporters. A managerial Icarus who's wings were stripped feather by feather by the hands of an evil overlord.
A(n often pointless) revolutionary fighting to the ultimate death in the struggle between the future and the past.
Serger - Portuguese sewing machine designed to prevent fraying of edges. Recent reviews suggest it does not have capabilities to cope with damage beyond repair.
To Get Off at Haymarket
(1) A well known Edinburgh euphemism that is sometimes applied to coital matters;
(2) Hearts, 1985/86 "did well for a while then got off at Haymarket just when it was getting interesting"
(3) Robbie Neilson, at half time v Hibs in Feb 2016 when 2-0 up at tynecastle (ditto)
(4) Hearts league cup "runs" since 1960 (ditto)
Cathro/Levein Deficiency
A condition in which the patient's initial symptoms present as a distressing inability to communicate intelligibly, verging on self-parody. Following treatment with a cheap home-made remedy the patient subsequently deteriorates into full blown Hoofball.
Note: This condition often develops after an earlier stage Vladectomy, causing the patient years of consequent suffering on a severely impoverished diet. In extreme cases the patient enters an hallucinogenic state in which regular denial of poppy thievery takes place.
Other complications can include; wee stadium, direct debit diversion and Hampden nosebleed. In almost every case the patient will try to obsessively apply 5-1 as a suppository salve, but this now simply results in an outbreak of 21st May 2016 euphoric joy in non-sufferers thus aggravating the original condition.

PyongYam - an utter hell hole, inhabited by possibly 400,000 peasants, led by a dictatorial megalomaniac who maintains a life of luxury at the peasants' expense.
Prone to indulging in pointless willy waving they excel at going grossly over budget on vanity infrastructure projects they also have a tendency to make exaggerated claims in relation to their achievements during warfare.

And they've got their own missile launcher.

Will.I.Yam = An opportunity offered by HoMFC to bequeath your entire estate to help pay for the ongoing construction of a monolithic icon at Gorgie in return for a lifetime seat with the view of one goalmouth.
Jambos Law - states a support can delude themselves on almost any given topic provided the recently discredited principles of yamonomics (mainly owing things to yourselves and shafting taxpayers and charities) are applied. See also Flat Earthers
Cling-ons - a state of being whereby the Jambo support hold on to past history as an antidote to horrendous reality of present day. Involves quoting stats (prior to the ‘money spinning replay”) chanting and frequently gesticulating 5-1 In quiet desperation. Chiefly Ignoring stats post 2012.
Pottering Around
What they do.
A Yamorama:
A wide angle, stunning picture of the view from the new modular Main Stand, featuring "CHIPS" as the main attraction. May be spoiled by such encumbrances as a) the police control box, b) handrail, c) Floodlight support blocking the view of 1 whole goal or d) all of the above
Sell out - a venue that is about 60% full.
Glass Curtain Wall - Windows
Budgieradar - An eagle like 360 degree sense mostly seen in aging women and used to spot opportunities to raise money from those beneath and around her
Budgeteer - The liquid founded dropping from old ladies eyes when a cheque needs to be signed
Leveinathans - Beasts that predate modern football. They roamed the pitch looking up for a mythical ball that landed once or twice a game. The smaller Leveinathans found it very difficult to stay on their feet whilst the larger uglier Leveinathans made it difficult for the opposition to stay on their feet. While their brains were simplistic in terms of the early version of football they had already evolved past most modern players in the ability to think up excuses and blame others. Rarely found in pairs near the opposition's goal.
4-6-0; not a levein formation but a yam business strategy. Spend 4 times what you can afford for 6 years with the intention of paying back 0 of it. 4-6-0, simple.
