Raoul Moat (Pic by smemon87)
The verb ‘Raoul Moat’ today became the fastest ever term in the history of the English language to be transferred from slang to dictionary. Within the past week the upsurge in the use of the term to describe a physical or a mental state has become synonymous with taxi drivers and other members of society who feel marginalised.
A spokesperson for Oxford English Dictionary said: “It’s quite remarkable actually but it is a sign of the accelerated times we live in. I myself am quite surprised with the incredible upsurge in the usage of the term. It makes ‘Wassup!’ look like ‘to be or not to be.”
In pubs, cafes and canteens around England the term has been adopted and put to use in any number of situations. ‘If that chicken is burnt I swear I will do a Raoul Moat!’ and ‘He said he’d Raoul Moat on me’ appear to have been two of the most popular uses this week.
