I'd forgot about those two " Impittant and essence " My mams description of me when I was a young lad, "he's the essence getting" As I got older, Happy days.

Me mam still says something like, "so and so, he wasn't just cheeky, he was dead essence".
"Is that going buck-she", eg a spare sarny

Always meant scruffy when I was a young 'un. Nowt to do with race, just dirt is black(ish).

It was also a phrase used to indicate you were going to the pub directly from work, as in ‘going for a black’en’

Like going to kip still wearing your overalls. Called a "black crash".

“Monkeys blood” apparently now it’s strawberry / raspberry sauce

 

[ShieldsBlackCat2015]

And please and thank you.

Yes, but mainly sorry. At least when people say please and thank you they actually mean it. Sorry is just a pathetic get-out-of-jail card that’s excuses all kinds of bad behaviour and expects people to forgive and forget.

I think it’s derived from backsheesh (Arabic?) meaning a tip or bribe i.e. something for nothing. Used in Africa and parts of Asia it could well have been adopted and modified by posted servicemen.

That's useful, where I work older people would talk about a buckshee half day if the sun was shining to go and play golf or go on the lash. I never knew where the phrase came from but knew it meant a bit sly or cheeky

 

[Butcher's Coat]

I still use "buckshee" mind.
