I thought it was what they ate - BTW what is a Biff and is it part of your five a day portions?

Strangely there was no-one called Dick or Dora in my class at school.

i'm naming my next one plug

Is this a joke? It stands for Big Ignorant Fucker. That is a well-known insult in my neck of the woods.

Peter and Jane were very popular at the time, though. As were Janet and John.

Not seem to many twins called Topsy and Tim, though. An opportunity waiting for the next naming thread started by a mother of multiples!

What's O RT?
Biff was in Back to The Future, but didn't make it a popular name.

When I heard at the reception introductory meeting that they'd be starting with the Kipper books I thought, oh good, that nice little dog.

Piffle · 23/05/2008 21:09

biff= biffer
biffer= derogatory term for a munter...
bit of a biffer mate eh
I cannot read ORT without thinking that...

expatinscotland · 23/05/2008 21:11

biff is the name of a yellow Lab retriever.

or a beagle.

kipper is also called an arbroath smokie when smoked in such a fashion and is absolutely delicious when served over ciabatta with fresh tomatoes.

Blandmum · 23/05/2008 21:13

LynetteScavo · 23/05/2008 21:15

CantSleepWontSleep · 23/05/2008 21:22

Wasn't the lead singer of exteeemely shite heavy metal band Saxon called Biff?

loudmouth · 23/05/2008 21:33

awful choice

fizzbuzz · 23/05/2008 21:54

Is this serious? Sounds like someone's been reading too much of "The Beano" to me.....

EllenJane · 23/05/2008 22:00

Eeveryone knows Biff is a girls' name..

loudmouth · 23/05/2008 22:48

must be a joke
noone would seriously consider Biff

GrimmaTheNome · 23/05/2008 22:51

ORT is the stuff kids have to get through before they get to read the Beano for themselves.

Jenbot · 24/05/2008 09:47

My baby sister and her friends used to use 'Biff', 'Chip' & 'Kipper' as sort of private-joke kid swear words when they were about 10.

"Chip off, you Biffer", kind of thing.

fizzbuzz · 24/05/2008 10:17

Anyway, I thought Kipper was a small cute dog who appears in a lot of toddler books

Divejaney · 24/05/2008 15:44

My brother was Biff because he couldn't pronounce Christopher.
