Spide

I absolutely claim to having invented this word around 1982 when I was 17 having a coffee in Corn Market , Belfast watching the world go by and playing "spotting the rare head" with a mate. While it is used widely used nowadays and I fully agree that most people know a spide when they see one, everyone except a spide that is - it was because so many low -lifes at the time,had spiders web tattoos on their elbows. As simple as that. We used to do Spiderman hisses at them with our hands out and they didn't have a clue what we were doing. Many of those tattooed fuckwits are royalty compared to the scum of today. If fact I have a pint with quite a few of them. Most didn't know if they were Mods, Skins or Punks but at least the music was good and memorable ,unlike today.
