Both are West country terms for Tourists, the first being a Somerset/ Devon word, the second being Cornish and actually means 'Ants'.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Gorbies is what we called tourist, usually Americans, who are a little arrogant and pushy. I think it was used out in the Banff area as well back in the day (late 70's early 80's).

So 'Huge Splat of Saliva" works as well. Wink

I looked that up. There is one definition that Albertans use, but there is another definition used by Australians: a huge splat of saliva.

ha ha, good guess. This one goes back to my grandfather in Helena Arkansas. I haven't had this in a long time, so its hard to remember exactly, but fat back was similar to bacon, but thicker slices and more fat and a different curing process, I think involving lots of salt.
Anyway, they would have bacon, sausage and fat back for their breakfast
