I frequently referred to things not done terribly well as 'a pile of dingo's kidneys' (origin: HHGTTG). I noted with some degree of satisfaction that this phrase had become widespread in Palaeolithic Arcaeology by the time I left.

Another archaeological term was 'To Tratmanise a collection' (i.e. to completely wreck to the point of uselessness an originally well recorded archaeological collection, based on the life work of Prof. E.K. Tratman of Bristol University). I also tentatively introduced the use of 'run it up a flag-pole and see who salutes it' to management at Tao (origin: The abominable Gus in Drop the Dead Donkey) - did it persist?
