A question for Brits only...?

Question

I'm American and I only know a few British slang words. I just found out a few days ago what "bum grapes" are. I also know what "a**e nuts" are. Do you also call them "dingleberries" like we Yanks do? Can you teach me some other British slang?

For dizzymooo: Dingleberries are what we Yanks call a**e nuts.:)

Answer 1

Oh Plenty, but why reinvent the wheel?

A particularly vulgar magazine called Viz created the concept of the Profanisaurus, which is just the lexicon you need.

Chavs, neds, pikeys and schemies are commonly used slang in various parts of the UK for horrible foul-mouthed useless peasants. A minger is a person who is ugly, unhygienic or smelly.
There is a huge amount of British slang, some national and some only used in particular regions. I doubt anyone over here uses dingleberries, but I'm sure I've come across "bum grapes" and "a**e nuts", probably from reading copies of my brother's Viz magazine and books by the same authors.

Answer 3

I have not heard that word. And in Britain the slang words are a lot more diverse. Each region, area and even town has some of their own. Too many to mention here. But there are books about British slang. Have a look at Amazon.com.

Answer 4

No we dont call them dingleberries what the hell are they!!!

Apples and pairs = stairs
sky rocket = pocket
current bun =sun
two and eight =state
whistle and flute = suit
scooby doo = clue
Thats and example of ryming slang and there are loads of other words that are different here.

Answer 5

Actually wanker means a person who frequently masturbates. as for the rest.


**** nuts = The small lumps of faeces and unidentifiable matter that become entagled in ones anal beard or **** hair.

Bum Grapes =
Slang reference to the anal condition of piles, more commonly piles induced by vegetable-bum-sex

Answer 6

as someone has already remarked british slang has been around so long that it has diversified to a level where the slang of one town will be unrecognisable in another.

among my favourite street expressions from my own town:

bosh :: handbasin

parps :: very easy

stonking :: large, impressive (also 'sexually attractive')

pawpi :: to lose irretrievably

and my favourite:

'to puke one's ring' - which means to be violently sick,( the image being that one vomits so hard that one's anal sphinctre comes out through one's mouth).

Answer 7

Sorry mate but I've never heard of "bum grapes" or "a**e nuts", These terms probably exist but I wouldn't have said they were widespread.
