    Haven't read the whole thread, well it is almost 60 pages, so forgive me if I'm repeating. A couple that spring to mind, butty (sandwich) and knackered (tired).

    Spondoolie
    Spondulix is 19th-century slang for money or cash, more specifically a reasonable amount of spending money. Spondulicks, spondoolicks, spondulacks, spondulics, and spondoolics are alternative spellings, and spondoolies is a modern variant.

    "...The further the better,..."

    Often mixed up, 'farther' denotes distance, 'further' deals with concepts or ideas.
