I was in the passenger seat then and had some time. I knew what it meant. Maybe Cosh is expensive stuff but you say to yourself \\u201cI have a handful of this and I\\u2019m doing it. It might be worth it. Blow ye consequences, etc\\u2026\\u201d \\n\\nA long while later I\\u2019m looking at the word cosh and wondering why it hasn\\u2019t tripped the laser grid of my spell check. \\n\\ncosh1 | k\\xe4SH | British informal\\nnoun\\na thick heavy stick or bar used as a weapon; a bludgeon: the defendants deny having a self-loading pistol and a telescopic cosh.\\n\\nIt feels good to know a bit more about the subject but today for the first time I can remember I saw a man juggling on the roof across the street. He was disquietingly shirtless. I tried to take a picture of him for you but he was wearing sunglasses and I couldn\\u2019t tell if he could see me. I have witnessed him toss languid foam balls. I hope some time passes and upon silent reflection he picks up a few coshes to start throwing around up there.'
