I always wanted to know what the following quote meant:

"There's nowt wrong wi' owt what mitherin' clutterbucks don't barley
grummit!"

...which comes from the fifth season episode of The Goodies called Kung Fu Capers (which is all about Ecky-Thump).

Kevin just discovered Urban Dictionary. I decided to look up Clutterbuck (!), and got an interesting result. I also looked up barley and grummit. Mitherin' wasn't in there, but I found an example of use on one page (you'll have to search for the word). Now the Goodies Clarion & Globe Issue 62 claims that the quote means...

There's nothing wrong with anything that pestering idiots barely understand.

Mystery solved?
