Bob's your uncle - This is a well used phrase. It is added to the end of sentences a bit like and that's it!
Camp - Someone who displays effeminate or gay behaviour is somewhat camp
Chuffed - You would be chuffed to bits if you were really pleased about something
C o c k up - A c o c k up means you have made a mistake. It has nothing to do with parts of the male body
Fanny -(known as bum or somthing over america i think) This is the word for a woman's front bits! One doesn't normally talk about anyone's fanny as it is a bit rude. You certainly don't have a fanny pack, or smack people on their ****** - you would get arrested for that! Careful use of this word in the UK is advised!
Get lost! - Politely translated as go away, this is really a mild way of telling someone to f*** off!
Gutted - If someone is really upset by something they might say that they were gutted. Like when you are told that you have just failed your driving test!
Love bite - You call them hickies
On the piss - If you are out on the piss, it means you are out to get drunk, or to get pissed.

No but I recently found out from a friend that the use of the word fanny is entirely different over there. Their meaning for fanny is actually what we call ummm say our "womanly parts" So expect to get some weird responses if you ask some one to spank your fanny in the UK
