You’re obviously not as au fait with gangster slang of the criminal underbelly as I am Twang. The term you’re looking for is “grassist”. A grasser is someone like Bob Marley, for example.
I think you’ll find a grasser is one who reveals information to the authorities confidentially and Steve, being quite upfront here, is, in fact a grassant..
The poor chap’s been told he’s a fat tit of a dub reggae artiste who smokes too many herbs when he should be knitting. All because of his aversion to italics. Typical Afterword response.
Twang says
Grasser.

Goodness no. If you are down with the kids it’s “tell-tale-tit”.
Black Celebration says
Prego!

Are you saying he’s overweight?
Sewer Robot says
I’m heavily implying it..
Junior Wells says
Dobber was the term we used.
Twang says
Yes dobber or “he dobbed me in”.
Gary says
As in: “Lee Scratch Perry was a talented dobber (while his mate King Tubby was a bit of a lazy grassant).”
fishface says
Grass is SO last decade….
It’s “Snitches get Stiches”
Gary says
As in they understand crochet? I’m wondering if he could do me a nice doily for the kitchen table?

So it’s witness protection for @fentonsteve now?

Mod Team says
Sorted, but we’d appreciate less tag-ist comments in future
fentonsteve says
Thanks.
Ask Twang and he’ll pass on my dinner money.
I think the Chinese burn mark will go down in a few days.
Twang says
There’s a deadleg in the lunch queue with your name on it.
fentonsteve says
Funny thing, though. I’d never seen one of those brown goldfish before. They don’t swim much, do they?
Black Celebration says
reminds me of a joke:
There’s two men fishing in a very forlorn way on the bank of a filthy canal. Shopping trolleys, rubbish and effluent everywhere.
Presently, a human turd floats by – which is not particularly unusual. But then it starts to talk :
“Hey! You two! Jump on in! The water’s beautiful and so refreshing!”
Man 1 starts to disrobe, clearly intending to dive in.
Man 2 says – “Don’t tell me you actually believe this shit!?”
