IanC	BS: Those handy UK expressions... (270* d)	RE: BS: Those handy UK expressions...	10 Jun 10
I'm also very pleased to see this old thread re-surface. I've recently been thinking about *bounder* ... upper class English slang for a morally reprehensible person (usually male) beloved of P. G. Wodehouse. I'm pretty sure it derives as a shortening of "Outward Bounder" meaning someone who has a one-way ticket to the colonies (i.e. transported as a criminal) as in Maggie May The Judge he guilty found her, he made her an outward bounder :-)
