"Discumknockerated" ......

...... is it a real word?

It is a 'Doddyism'

its a cumbuggeration of other words for people who like to faff about and godgitate , Some of the words end up being entered in the Oxford Encyclopedio

The word comes from when the Diddymen miners, used to come a cropper, when working in the Jam Butty mines in Knotty Ash, they would end up "Discumknockerated" yoo don't hear about the Jam Butty mines now, because Whupsy and his mates had the Jam Butty mines closed

The owner of the Jam Butty mines, Ken Dodd, travelled to Golborne Colliery, and made an agreement to leave the Jam Butty mines out of a closed shop agreement, reached between the government and the miners, which said that all miners, regardless of what they mined, had to be members of the NUM, but Ken Dodd agreed to provide free Jam Buttys to coal miners, in return for the Jam Butty mines remaining Yoonion Free.



However, the miners reneged on the deal, after Margaret Thatcher publically said that she enjoyed eating Jam Buttys, and in particular Jam Buttys from the Jam Butty mines in Knotty Ash

So Whupsy and his mates chartered an helicopter (from yoonion funds), to take them from Golborne and Parkside, to the Knotty Ash mines (flying pickets) and there they beat up the Diddymen, when the Diddymen tried to cross the picket line, twice they tried, and twice the coal miners stopped them (secondary picketing) and that were it, no more Jam Buttys from Knotty Ash, the place was completely Discumknockerated

I liked, "Doddy's little Diddymen":

Did he pay?
and Did he hell!

Ken was probably the most intellectual of comedians.

He used to attend The British psychological Society's annual conference on humour.

He scrupulously employed assistants to constantly observe, rate and record audience response to his material, and worked to shape the product accordingly.

He persuaded the income tax people that he did not really understand the concept of money and tax!

Sheer genius.

A scouse jury, trying a scouse comedian, in scouseland, they wouldn't have been biased would they

Me dad knew Ken Dodd in the early 1960s, when they were both singers on the local club circuits, and he said that Ken Dodd was just a straight forward singer, but audiences in the clubs who were tuned in (pished) could not help but laugh at him, at the sight of him, and there was nothing worse than an audience not giving order (being quiet when the turn was on) but in Ken Dodds case there was something worse than that, and that was being laughed at, so Ken Dodd started telling a few jokes with his songs, and the rest was history

“I told the Inland Revenue I didn’t owe them a penny because I lived near the seaside.”

Ena, it's as good an excuse as any!

And, three days before he popped his clogs, he wed his long time partner to ensure tax grabbers did not get their mitts on the more than £ 27 Million that he had accumulated.

'Doddy' was a legend, and I shall miss going to the Grand theatre in Blackpool watching him , laughing for hours and coming out with a grin that lasted for days afterwards. You always got your monies worth with Kenneth Arthur Dodd.

He was the best and no mistake, He was so good at hiding his money that, when he had the open heart surgery , the doctor found £50,000 in cash,
