I’ve always associated it with that kind of awful piss taking that men who care about seeming macho do because they don’t want to appear to have feelings. I’m entirely unsurprised at where it has ended up.

What is a great word in your opinion?
I asked someone a similar question about their music choices recently after they slated the current offering and got some sheepish gub about having a "Mixed" taste, so I don't want to hear you have a mixed taste in words

And I’ve always associated it with the working class thrown into jobs that our education system preordained for them making just enough money to feed and house their families trying their best to inject a little humour into an otherwise drab day.
The working classes shouldn't be injecting humour into their days, they should be reading their bible and praising the allmighty for the blessing of each new dawn.

A great word? I really like "dalliance", which is somewhat ironic as my love affair with Wycombe Wanderers has been anything but brief.
If showers were installed in the terrace I would use them

Urchin is one of my favourites at the moment, wouldn't advocate a dalliance with one though.
