ORIGINAL: VaguelyCurious http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/crumpet Noun - A type of savoury cake, typically flat and round, made from batter and yeast, containing many small holes and served toasted, usually with butter.
- (British, slang, uncountable) A person (or, collectively, persons) considered sexually desirable. Joan Bakewell was famously described as "the thinking man's crumpet".John and his mates have gone out to find themselves some crumpet.
Etymology: Sense of “desirable woman” attested 1936, possibly as cockney rhyming slang for strumpet; alternatively, compare tart (“‘loose woman, prostitute’”) (itself possibly cockney rhyming slang for heart or sweetheart). Methinx I sense a CM Crumpet Club forthcoming. Really, we have lots.. P.S. Thank you for setting Me right, VC. I must remember that one.. Dear Mr. Anteater, do you permit tacklesmooching of darling ppls duly missed in absence on this thread ..? *poises*
