It is a historical term that refers to tribal verbal/written retaliation taken against those who perpetrate any form of malfeasance, actual or perceived, against a defenceless wall. Over time the retaliation becomes tribal lore in the telling, and is reinforced with constant repeats, very much like orality.

Nothing common about Diss - it's where I grew up; and a very superior little town indeed.

Thaanks, Stalker. I have very happy memories of the place. We didn't actually live in the town itself, but it was our nearest shopping centre and a couple of my younger siblings went to school there. We moved to East Anglia when I was 8 and lived first in Eye, then Redgrave, then Wortham.
