As a proud englishman, I like slipping obscure and quaint english terms into the conversation while talking with friends for whom english is a second language (sad, I know). They love this, and always want to learn them properly to teach their friends. I'm starting to run out of good examples though. Can anyone suggest any more of these unique terms?
Phrases I've used so far include tally-ho, toodle-pip, chin-chin, ta-ta, cheerio, top-hole, what-what, blighty, balderdash and piffle, and jonny foreigner. That's the sort of thing I'm looking for.
