    Talking what are smug-heads?

    Ok we seem to have established what do-gooders are but what about smug-heads?..

    Maybe a person that needs to be told to get off their high horse?!

    Which is more annoying? - the do-gooder or the smug-head? Or are they both worthy of a kick up the bee-hind?

    Smug-Head?, never ever heard that term before, you sure you're not thinking of Smeg-Head?, which was used as an insult in the tv series Red Dwarf.

    Nope - never heard of a smug-head. Seen plenty of smug faces though...

    Behold the turtle - he only ever gets anywhere by sticking his neck out...

    Yes new to me too. Heard of Egg-Head, Big-Head, Pig-Head, Dunder-Head, Thick-Head - there must be more that I cannot think off at the moment but no Smug-Head.

    Don't you mean smeghead? It became a popular insult after being used on Red Dwarf.

    If I recall correctly, Lister claimed to have been in a band called Smeg and the Heads in one episode of Red Dwarf.

    If you want to see what Smeg looks like click here:-

    ok ok i feel an apology is needed here - 'smed head' - have no idea peeps never watched red dwarf...

    basically what i was getting at was the fact that 'do-gooders' are seen as quite a negative thing so i thought i'd turn the tables a little bit and ask what you thought of the smug-heads (obviously an abrdn uni term or a term we used but didnt disclose - those who can't take a telling, think that they are above criticism etc because they are this or they are that? if this isn't enough i'll happily provide a more indepth description :P)



    on the other hand I am now intriged by the smed head??
