Another presumably "adult" slang term also used by the children I think was "rum" used in the sense of somthing which is "rum" being strange, odd, unexpected. Captain Flint certainly uses it and I think I remember John (at least) using it as well. Is "rum" still in use in the U.K. with this meaning?
