You could use Scarf, Scran, Pigout, Stuff your Face?
So Vladimir Ilich, what other words would you declare “enemies of the people”. Cuz, revolution is like peanuts; you can’t just eat one.
Go down to the toilets at the train station and nosh some cosh for dosh.
What the hell is this about…must be generational thing…Bueller….Bueller…..BUELLER?
“NOSH” AS A CLASS MARKER
“Nosh” is lower-class English slang for food. For example, Alf might say, “Sid always enjoys his nosh.” You know it’s lower class because, in addition to the use of the word “nosh,” the names “Alf” and “Sid” are also lower class.

What has the word “nosh” got to do with driving around in an environmentally friendly car? Nosh is a nice light snack like Kit Kat. It literally means to eat on the sly. Don’t get the connection there.
I dont get it…..
The bitch started off with “No I am not intoxicated” I’m really not surprised it didn’t make sense. Dude’s clearly on acid, oxycodon and coffee.
I thought nosh was Yiddish. an adaptation of knish
or could be anglo saxon, associated with knickers in some delightful way
Germanic pertaining to knockwurst?
knever mind, I’m knackered, you stupid English knights
Crispy, the connection isn’t very obvious and I wouldn’t have gotten it either if I hadn’t spent so much time, years ago, hanging around the punks and hippi’s. You’re most likely to hear someone say “Yeah dude, flaxseed is great, I nosh on that all the time dude!” if that person has dreadlocks, some form of hemp clothing, smells like patchouli and/or makes smoking weed into a ‘lifestyle’.
Note: This may not be the proper way to use the word ‘Nosh’ but I’ve heard it used this way quite a lot. I agree with OP it’s annoying. Trendy words are annoying. In BC everyone used to say ‘bunk’ when something was bad. The all time worst catch phrase I’ve hear people say, however, would have to be ‘sweet deals’.
So the hipsters are casting shade on “nosh”?
Well I don’t like the word “intoxicated”. Especially when used by drunks.
Life goes on for everybody. You’ll see.
The hipsters have been casting shade on Nosh before it was cool, Crispy.
Shut up runsWithScissors
Oh sorry leg. are you… intoxicated?
lol…
See op, i hate the word nosh too. It’s annoying and doesn’t quite do the gluttony of those who tend to use it justice. I just.. I can’t imagine putting this much effort into talking about how much a word annoys me. If a word drives you to consider “a revolution the likes of lenin” what the fuck do you do when you encounter a double-parked car? Consider a “homicide the likes of stalin”?
This might be the most fucking retarded bitch i’ve read in ages.
I thought it was Yiddish, too. WASP that I am, I learned the word nosh when I saw it printed on the snack bags provided by New York Air (a great little shuttle-you bought your tickets en route, just like trains used to be!). Inside the ‘nosh’ bag was a baguette and a tiny wheel or wedge of cheese.
Anyway, nosh is much less affected than ‘tiffin’
thanks xeno, i had to look that one up. i’ll try to use it in conversation^^
Painey “From Here…To Tiffinity!” (and Beyond). Not sure how often you would get the chance to say that one in day to day conversation. You’re welcome to it, however!
Wasn’t there a restaurant chain called “Tiffin”? You would see it at a mall, maybe.

Well Xeno, your use of “nosh” is entirely derivative. Perhaps there was a lower-class English type who branded the snack bags of New York Air as “nosh” but no, it is lower-class English slang for food as I have pointed out already. My God, does no one grasp this?
“Tiffin,” on the other hand, refers to late afternoon tea enjoyed by the English planter classes on their estates in the far East, notably India and Malaya and all the rest. Read your Somerset Maugham, for God’s sake.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
xeno, i haven’t used that word today, i can’t bring myself to say it out loud. sounds poncy
“Poncy” – another great word!
