In ep12 Kilgrave calls Jones "a little anal crumpet". WTF does that mean?!?!
shareI think it's a British expression for "prick" or something like that.

The anal crumpet is an individual whose morals have collapsed into the rectum and much like hemorrhoids, they are painful to be around. This is an individual who is despicable and irrefutably nasty and has a history of being a player or attempting to be a player. The anal crumpet has no morals or is morally ambiguous, making them extremely unattractive or otherwise creepy.
As that great philosopher Bugs Bunny said, "Something tells me I shoulda stood in bed." share
I'm not even sure you need the urban dictionary here since that's often full of stuff posted by one individual who thinks they are funny or who has an axe to grind with someone in particular.
Crumpet is a mostly British term meaning somewhere in the vicinity of "tramp", "bimbo" etc. Anal just means someone who's stiff or not that easy going etc.
Whether the term "anal crumpet" has its own meaning outside of it's components I'm not sure, but at face value it's pretty clear to me. He's basically saying she's a boring bimbo or a tart with minimal sense of humor.
Reading my signature constitutes admission that I am correct. (Too late)
I found it hilarious as an English person would not mix these particular metaphors in real life. It just doesn't sound right. It smacks to me of American writers trying to use English slang without understanding its usage properly.
The term crumpet is usually used indirectly as a describing word among peirs in this way: "She's a lovely bit of crumpet" or "the club was full of crumpet". An English guy would never use the word directly as in "you are a crumpet" to a woman and certainly would not put a modifier on the front like "anal" to say "you're an anal crumpet". Especially as "anal" has other connertations! It sounded ridiculous. I'm surprised that Tennant went with it, if I was him I would have suggested a better way of saying it.
Feel free to accuse me of being anal about this haha.
