Just found out what winners & losers is rhyming slang for and where.

Stevolende, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 13:45 (eight years ago) link

So loads of Glaswegian guitar distortion bands might actually be looking at the cuffs of their winners and losers instead of their chelsea boots. Difficult to tell from what you can see of their gazes.
Isn't pronuciation a funny thing?

If somebody broke into the van and nicked all the effects pedals, would it be a shoegazi?

probably a near mumble that you have to ask the introverted teen who is more conversant with his guitar and its plethora of pedals than other human beings several times to repeat before you get what he's saying?
