To the list: Boon. Whizzo. Champion (as in "that's champion" rather than "He's a champion").
I saw a sign in my local Homebase the other day which said, "Their are many more offers inside!!!". Those are the best, when they know there's a rule they should follow but have no idea which one to put so put the one which makes least sense, in one of those delightful reverse-logic things.
*Edit: I really, really like swearing if done properly. Really posh people saying, "You're a fucking buffoon [sp?]" makes me laugh an awful lot. "You're a ruddy twat" is a oft used phrase of mine. Oooh, oft - that needs more usage says me.
