Informally, flannel also means 'nonsense; humbug; empty talk' as cited in http://dictionary.reference.com. I heard this used today, in referring to a speech by a politician about 'believing in British values', described as 'typical policians' flannel'.

- While any word can be used figuratively, that does seem to be a peculiar British-specific meaning. I don't see any print citations here, right away. Very interesting (and very unexpected) usage. --Connel MacKenzie 15:49, 26 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
