👉 Okay, settle in class, let’s tackle this rather… prickly piece of linguistic weirdness:
"Anti-Baehampton."
(And before you freak out and think I just threw that one together for a laugh – no, actually, I've spent the last three evenings trawling through surprisingly active corners of the internet researching it. Seriously, who’s doing this?!)
