Donald Hoobler's encounter with a Cockney German soldier ( played by Harry Peacock ) in Episode 1 ( at 52:47 ) was so over-the-top that I decided to provide a brief glossary of terms:
Tommies - A Tommy was used to refer to any soldier in the British Army. It was used primarily in WW I.
friggin' - is a euphemism for a much more offensive four-letter-word. Many people ( on the internet ) have reported that he actually said 'bleedin' ... but that is not what my ears heard.
Boche - a disparaging term for a German Soldier. It may have its origins in France ... where 'caboche' is used to mean 'blockhead'
Hermanns - WW II slang for Germans. May have its origin in the fact that Hitler's #2 man was Hermann Göring.
knocked-up - assembled, or 'threw-together'. More commonly heard is 'knocked-down' ... used to mean 'dissaembled'.
mince pies - is Cockney Rhyming Slang for 'eyes'
Jerry - a common nickname for a German, used in WW II.
clobber - British slang for 'personal belongings', such as clothes and accessories
butchers - is Cockney Rhyming Slang for 'look'. Many years ago, merchants would display their meat on a butcher's hook. In London, people would say 'have a butcher's hook' to mean 'have a look'.
pukka - British slang for 'first class', or absolutely genuine.
having a bath - Cockney Rhyming Slang for 'having a laugh'. In this context, he is probably using it to mean, 'you are joking or kidding'.
half-inching - Cockney Rhyming Slang for pinch or steal.
