Of all of the greatest contributions of the writer John Sullivan to the popular lexicon, the phrases “you plonker”, “lovely jubbly” and “during the war” will often be cited as personal favourites. Mine, however, is the phrase “Jaffa” (meaning “seedless” in the reproductive sense), which I think in a work of genius. “Jaffa” is one of the favourite terms of endearment/abuse which was directed to the character “Boycie” (latterly of Only Fools & Horses, now of the Green Green Grass), who was though to be infertile as a result of the fact that his wife Marlene failed to conceive for an extensive period of time.
