Discussion Groups / British English / April 2008

I'm looking for the meaning of Winterlude in general and in the Bob
Dylan Song "Winterlude". All I found with Google was about the festival
in Ottawa during the winter.
This ist the first verse:

I'm from Denmark and have heard the expression "mirror blue" in a song. I
can't find it in any dictionary. Google gives 91.600 results when I search
for "mirror blue" (most of them refers to an album by Richard Thompson from
1994).

Any fiction rich in British college/university students' slang, esp
Oxbridge (prefer 60s-70s)?
Thanks.

Paying "down" a loan - what happened to paying it off?
Parking "up" at the airport - why can't you just park?
The same with heading "up" a team.
That's all I can think of now. I feel better already.
