Another phrase enters the UK goth vocabulary...

[mrph]

Have any of the goth folks reading this got a first sighting for the phrase "Whitby shuffle"?

I remember hearing it from one of the CamGoths in Nov 2000, but it's now in general use among a lot of Coventry, Leicester and Bristol folk.. so I guess it's escaped/escaping into the big wide world.

Unless it's been used for years and I just hadn't heard it before, of course - but google doesn't think it's ever appeared on upg, so that seems unlikely...

[Next week's word: "smugbolt" :)]

I don't think "musical beds" would imply relationship breakup/formation in the same way - so it would apply better to your Whitby schedule :-)
