The last time I can recall, a Bowie knife is called a "Bowie knife" but perhaps there is a new slang term for it too, since I am just an old fart that has lost track of time. Perhaps the Duchess can help you out on that one.

"What's in a name? that which we call a Bowie
By any other name would cut as sweet"

No, it's called a Jones knife.

The only time I remember seeing or hearing him was "The Man Who Fell To Earth", and I saw way more than I wanted to!

(especially you SG - and you said a rude word.)

And Kingshill, you were once top dog here.
My 1400 lads read this forum and look what you and your
band of rascals are teaching them.

When my opponent is in time trouble I stop the clocks and give him
5-1 ...[text shortened]... ck accidently move it closer towards him. Watch them
slapping your button and not noticing.)
it was a sheath knife and it worked. 😛

The only reason I remember it is that he had the temerity to call his son Zowie - and the decency to give him the alternative option of Duncan. More celebrities should be that clever.

Cannot wait to see you lot coming back with examples of this one.
