Therefore, a crap-weasel is a terrible person who lies. For these words, I recommend a good slang dictionary. The definitions are very easy to understand unlike those in slang dictionaries for Americans , there are examples of how to use each word, and it's not expensive always a good thing. Because we get a lot of questions about reference books, we've added a page of book recommendations with order links to Amazon.

This is a kind of soft candy you can buy around Easter time in the US. They usually look like yellow chicks, though you can also get ones shaped like rabbits. You can often find out what these cultural references are by looking for them on an English language search engine, such as Yahoo.
When I saw your list, I thought you might have misheard or misspelled words like flupie and blobbies, because I couldn't remember hearing them before. However, I was able to find most of those words in Friends episodes on the Internet. In these cases, you will not find the words or expressions in a slang dictionary because they are unique to that show or conversation.
Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you look at it you'll need to trust your own judgment to figure out the meaning of these expressions from the context. For example, grab a spoon appears in an episode where Joey tells Ross that women are like flavors of ice cream and recommends that Ross grab a spoon.
This is not a standard slang expression. It's just a metaphor comparing women to ice cream. Joey means that Ross should date or have sex with some other women. Ross replies, "Do you know how long it's been since I grabbed a spoon? Do the words, 'Billy, don't be a hero' mean anything to you?
Billy, don't be a hero was a popular song from the early s, so Ross means that he has not dated much since that time - clearly an exaggeration, since he was probably a small child when the song was popular.
This is another case where you could try searching for the phrase in quotation marks on a search engine. If it's a popular phrase, it should come up in a lot of sites. It was figured out, and now everything's just kinda like Flupie, an adjective invented by Phoebe, is obviously the opposite of clear, figured out and planned.
However, just the context is enough to figure them out. Joey is playing Sigmund Freud in a musical. He sings to a female patient:. Freud's famous theory was penis envy - the idea that most women's problems were because they wanted a penis.
So dingle and schwang mean penis. Tinkle is a cute children's word for pee urinate in the standard dictionary. Probably right before she lost it! The answer is obvious. I wasn't able to find any examples of pla, so it might not be the right spelling, but it doesn't sound like a usual slang word. You are using an out of date browser.

I am not a Friends fan, but mafalda's explanation sounds on the mark. However, I would add that "grab a spoon" is not a frase hecha in English.
