How to chunder

I have an 18 year old brother and at times he can be the BIGGEST pain known to man. I guess this is pretty standard for any sibling, but I often wonder if he was born with powers to exceed any other pain in the neck and quite possibly take over the world with his general stupidity.

For the first time since my brother had passed his driving test (a whole year ago) he asked if I could run him and a friend into town, so they can get politely off their heads and wouldn’t have to pay for a taxi.

I guess this is fair enough and to be honest I did owe him at least one drop off, but with slippers, joggers and a ridiculously cosy hoody on, driving to town was the last thing on my mind. This does not include the cup of tea in my hand and Mock of the Week on the TV. In short I was not moving anywhere in a hurry.

So as fate goes 10 minutes later I was reluctantly driving the boys into town and discussing the beauty of student nights out and the best ways to handle drink.

It was around this time that the word ‘Chunder’ first made it’s way into the conversation. This word is slowly creeping its way up the list of genuinely horrible words, which if I ruled the world, or had any influence over the OED I would personally ban. (‘Moist’ is still the reining champion of words that should be removed from the English language.)

Anyway, the boys were trying to explain how deliberately throwing up before a night out will make you last longer and make your night better. Personally it sounds like child proof Viagra, but hey, who are we to judge if it works?

Minus the fact that this had been the stupidest comment I had heard all day, it was worrying that they thought this was ok to do. The youth of today are hopeless.

As students we were bad, but nothing along the lines of throwing up so we had a better night. It’s all about the pacing and fingers crossed this will be a habit that will soon be kicked out of the stadium.

Kids today…
