A word that our entire class learned for the first time when we were bollocked for “ostracising” Andrew Bard. This allegation was levelled at us when Mrs Allcock walked into the form room for the third day running to hear the hit song “Ooo-aah Andrew Beard, I say oo-ah Andrew Beard " be belted out en masse. Bard’s main crimes were (a) having a name that sounded like “beard” and (b) not wearing a Campri ski jacket. In retrospect the charge of ostracism was a little unfair - Andrew was in no way excluded from the opportunity to join in the sing song.
