Yes, but the thing is, about u/Professional_Owl7826; the thing you have to remember about u/Professional_Owl7826; u/. .. u/Professional_Owl7826 was a prat.
I read many years ago that Goit was a reference to goitre.
>A goitre is a lump or swelling at the front of the neck caused by a swollen thyroid.
So it was kind of a way of calling someone a pain in the neck.
Smeg is not really a made up word for Red Dwarf. See ‘smegma’. The variation Smeg and Smeghead definitely were been coined for the show.
There’s an interview around where a kid asks Craig Charles what smeg means and he avoids the reply.
There's also Smeg appliances

[Gareth Gwenlan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gareth_Gwenlan?wprov=sfla1) rejected the show on the grounds there was no sofa in the bunk room. They didn't *hate* the guy.
This is one of the peak things about the British language, you can take any word and just using context can make it an insult, or a term for getting black-out drunk

Not quite, more like eleven years
>Second on the list, was that Goit refers to the female genitalia
>Lister: Well, I say let's get out there and tw @ it!
which coincidentally means "to punch something" but also means the second on the list, I can't believe they actually used that language because I don't recall it being used anywhere else in the series.
Thanks for doing the legwork on the research but the language warning makes you sound like a total smeghead

I had no idea gimp meant that, I thought it was those dudes in the funny suits
It's both
"Gimboid" evolved from "Gimp". Cuboid, Trapezoid, Gimboid. Easy.
Yeah, exactly. And goit is probably from goiter, which is a big ugly lymph node swelling
Gimpoid. Doesn't really follow your examples.
I don't think anyone thinks that's what gimp means.
You not been speaking to Little Moe with the gimpy leg?
You been smoochin’ with everybody!
Was used with that intended meaning by Rimmer in White Hole though (unless he was suggesting that Lister likes to dress in a tight leather onesie)
Tell me you’re a Rimmer fan without telling me you’re a Rimmer fan. Using the words just shows you’re a dwarfer. No one else will understand then.
According to Space Corp. Directive 595, one must not use the term “Rimmer Fan” on Reddit.
No that’s space corp directive 959. Space corp directive 595 is the doctors should not take umbrellas into gynecology exams

I have a Smeg oven. Amuses me no end.
That’s crazy, as an Aussie I always thought goit was just pommy slang hahaha
I like their new insult Gwenlyn which was named after someone the writers hated

This is a-tier trivia knowledge
I just assumed they picked words that sound idiotic and made them sound like that. We all knew the intention

Bring out the gimp
You realise that Red Dwarf predates Urban Dictionary by at least thirty years...

I think it's more than obvious OP meant it the other way - that he was praising the Dwarfer who put that definition on UD.
What a bunch of doiks…
So does Kachoombabo really mean 'smart Alec, metal git'

Rimmer actively calls Lister a Bastard in Waiting for God
