todays slang is Irish.....
Knacker Tasch
a puny hard to grow mustache.
Usage example: "Oi, what kind of knacker tasch you call that anyway, you stoopid mucker?"
EXPLANATION:
A knacker, pronounced with a silent "K", refers to a juvenile delinquent that of course is born with hate for all things living. It can also be used to describe a member of the travelling community for whom we all hate. The tasch refers to pathetic teenage moustaches which contain only a few hairs on either side of the mouth. It is insulting to the attempted grower to call him or in some cases her this name.
This slang term is used primarily around Dublin due to the varying slang used throughout the country. Ireland is known to linguists as having a great variance in colloquial slang from area to area despite Ireland's relatively small population of just over four million. I guess when all you have to do is fight in a civil war all the time you can just hang out making up silly names to call each other.
