tumshie
n.— «Forget about these two tumshies, Bush and Kerry.…Indeed, the Diary even prefers the term “tumshie” to “numpty.”…We are assured, a great afternoon for anyone feeling depressed—if Bush wins—at a tumshie as leader of the free world.» —“Yes, folks, tumshie is the new numpty” by Simon Pia Scotsman (Scotland) Nov. 3, 2004.
