I reckon dodgeydude was pretty much spot on a month ago, except it didn't need the s on the end . . .
TARMACADAM
. . . as introduced to the world in 1902 by Edgar Purnell Hooley
OR . . .
. . . was it tar + macadam (from John McAdam, Scottish engineer), 1880s.
Definition of tarmacadam
1 :a pavement constructed by spraying or pouring a tar binder over layers of crushed stone and then rolling
2 :a material of tar and aggregates mixed in a plant and shaped on the roadway :side: :S :dry:

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,
Now I find I can't do any work in this position!
I've got it!
Tarmac Quit!
Give up,
Had enough,
Don't know.

Many useful things fall off trucks
Replied by Dodgeydude on topic WotZit
I would just like a hint to save some face. I have not had the pleasure of Swishy's company but it strikes me he is not the sort of bloke who would forget how pweak we are. I only made one mistake about 50 years ago and my true mates still remember for me and remind me every time we are sitting around a camp fire. :dry:
So Tarmac and four more letters right? and next letter is ?
