"buckfast"? Now please don't claim that that is part of the local dialect!



Well, actually.....


It IS!! Not strictly speaking a "slang" term, it is actually a Tonic wine which is made by Benedictine monks at Buckfast Abbey, near Exeter in Devon, England. It has a high Alcohol content, and (probably for that very reason) is the drink of choice for neds, as well as other folks with a less than discerning palate!! I've tried it, and I think it's "minging" (horrible) but, each to their own! Commonly known as "Bucky" in Glasgow!
