Topic: Knacker


  
  Knacker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A knacker is a person in the trade of rendering animals that are unfit for human consumption, such as work horses that have died in harness or are too tired to work any more.
'Knackered' also means tired, exhausted or broken in British slang, and is still commonly used in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
The term knacker is sometimes used in Ireland to denote an Irish Traveller, though it is considered extremely derogatory.

Second, the occupier of a knacker's yard was prohibited from causing or permitting to be removed from the knacker's yard, and any person was prohibited from removing from a knacker's yard, any meat, unless that meat had first been sterilised.
Also relevant is the definition of 'knacker meat' which was defined as carcass meat and offal from an animal slaughtered in, or from, a carcass brought into, a knacker's yard situated in the UK.
Further, carcass meat unfit for human consumption, or specified offal and knacker meat consisting of carcass meat or specified offal, could be removed unsterilised and unstained from a slaughterhouse or knacker's yard which had exhausted, and could not practicably replenish, its supplies of staining fluid, to a destination referred to in Regulation 17(1)(b) to (d).

This was because getting the dead cattle to the knacker yard before motor vehicles were being used was a problem; the only way to move them was by horse and carts this cut down the area that a knacker yard could cover by only a few miles.
In villages the local knacker yard supplied many things for the locals, horse oils were saved and boiled up, the local football club would come down and soak their boots in the oil to soften them up, the cricket club would use the oil to rub into their bats.
Many knacker yards stopped processing the waste from dead animals because large companies were collecting all the bones and waste from slaughterhouses and knacker yard's and it was not viable for the smaller business to process gut and bone.

The word itself makes you want to vomit with rage, but the sad fact is that they’re populating practically all the schools we go to and acting in their imbecile ways.
Take my year for example- about 100 pupils, roughly 75 are knackers (and really short for some reason…) about 3 creepy swots, 20 or so so-called ‘normal’ average boring people and only TWO coolio people, I mean, that ain’t right!
But alas, there is a purpose for everything a knacker wears or does to their appearance:

 TIME.com: Knacker Knark Knipperdolling -- Mar. 4, 1966 -- Page 1
Yet the inquiry served a useful purpose, if only by giving an opportunity to a sorry klutch of knackers, knarks and Knipperdollings* to document for themselves that "the invisible empire" is moved as much by dollar lust as by racial hatred.
Having learned how high on the hog their leaders live, Mississippi Klan chieftains are thinking of breaking away to see if they can do as well in their own organization.
* A knacker slaughters old horses for profit; a knark is a hardhearted, unfeeling fellow; a Knipperdolling is a religious fanatic.

A new mathematical formula to predict the time of day when we will feel most tired...in the form of a cheesy flash quiz.
My typical day starts at 5am and finishes around 1am and quite frankly I'm knackered all the time, but apparently I'm most knackered at 2 in the afternoon (I actually think this is quite accurate).
The quiz is of course sponsored by those supporters of the terminally tired, pro plus, who I can't recommend since I've been PP free since I left my final nightmare year of university.

 The Knacker-rabble - icecube’s keep
Down Dame street, just outside the bank of Ireland, in an unbecomingly ratty mood, and this circa 10-year old knacker kid jumps out in front of me to give me a shock - being totally distracted with other concerns (intellectual things, like kittens and shades of paint), his plan totally succeeded.
Then, he looked at me and laughed; my instinctive reaction was, reasonably enough for his behaviour, to throw him in front of the oncoming traffic, but, alas my inhibitions/virtues kicked in then, and I was left, just thinking: "What a fucking knacker".
And *then*, to make things manifold less acceptable to me, his parents(I presume), who had been walking behind him, started laughing as well.
