oh my gosh forgive me for making a grammatical error, I sincerly apologize for my lack of attention to my grammar. I hope I didn't offend anyone!

I'm not from England, but Scotland, and live here in the States and have done for a long time.
The trouble with slang, and any other idiom, which is a native or local language. You speak it every day, to your local people, and they all understand what you are saying.
It's when an outsider comes to visit, and hears those terms, as you did in the movie, they have to ask what that word means.
So without knowing the specifics of the words, it's hard to tell you what it means.
One I am sure, you may not have heard, is "Gobsmacked"
That's when you see something and are in awe of it, and can't find the words to say, to describe your feelings.
I hope you get some good answers, it's good question.

Hmmm, apparently THEY spell the word "people" correctly.
