Answer 3

Big girl's blouse - A term that has more associations with the north of England, but is also used 'down south'. Normally used as a term to playfully ridicule a young man who is a bit soft and shy. The sort of thing your uncle might say to you, as in 'Come on, put your back into it you big girl's blouse!'

Chelsea smile - The scar you get when you have been cut ear to ear is known as a Chelsea smile. Comes from the criminal underworld of the 60s, the Kray era.

Bog- toilet

Chunder - To throw up.

Hobson's Choice - To have Hobson's Choice is to have no choice at all. The phrase comes from a coachhouse-keeper in Cambridge (after whom 'Hobson's Ditch' which runs alongside Trumpington Street is also named), whose policy was that anyone looking to take one of his horses out had to have the one in the first stall by the door, rather than being able to pick the best one. He did this to ensure that all his horses were evenly used. Someone might want to take out a horse that had recently been out, which would over-tire the horse, and 'Hobson's Choice' prevented this from happening.

Lairy - Loud, brash, as in 'He's really lairy.'
Lollop - To laze around.

Loo - Toilet.

Lugs - Ears.

Munchies - A serious bout of hunger after or during a drinking spree, as in 'I've got the munchies, man.' Also associated with illicit substances.

Muppet - A foolish or stupid person, as in 'Don't be a muppet, I can't believe you're gonna do that.'

Answer 4

What you need to understand is that historicaly the people in cities, towns and villages in the UK did not move around much. This means if you pick a spot anywhere in the UK and walk 20 miles the people and their accents and slang is different to your starting point. Another 20 miles and it's different again. And so on. Which is why one person in this list said:
cannok chase = Face, cup of chow = Cup of tea
where in fact in London it's
Boat Race = Face, Rosy Lee = Tea

Scousers are from Liverpool, cockney's from London, Geordies and Maccams from Newcastle and Sunderland (respectively, Don't ever mix them up) Brums in Birmingham, Weeiges in Glasgow and we don't talk about Edinburgh ..... Ever!!

7 citys in a rectangle 400 miles in length and 200 miles wide ('ish) (There's another one ;o) and if each local went to another city they would have to slow their speech and not use their own coloqualism.

Answer 5

Well British slang varies throughout the whole country so the same thing can have many different slag words and the reverse is true so that one slang word can have different meanings around the country! Confusing but true!

One example is the slang word "gaff", somebody on here has already said it means house but a gaff is also a mistake.

Answer 6

Chav = Trailer Trash

Bloke = Man

Bird = Woman

Muppet = Idiot

**** = A real serious Idiot

Donut = Stupid idiot

Mug = Gulible Fool / Misinformed

Mota = Car

gaff = house

yard = house

innit = isn't it

T'internet = the internet

minge = Lady's secret place

willy = Mans dangly bit

Answer 7

There are so so many try this www.peevish.co.uk/slang, there are even slang words that are local to particular areas, where I live its common to call everyone "luv", a Muppet is a silly person btw, its a whole new language!

Answer 8

some of mine may be too regional, or may be accent variations. Yorkshire ones are:
carzi, loo, bog - toilet
controller - remote for tv, hifi etc
cuppa - tea normally, but can be coffee
flollop - to laze around and relax (i noticed someone put lollop, and that amused me)
gennel (g pronounced as a j), snicket - little alleyway normally between two houses
lift - elevator
chav, chavette - male and female trailer trash
mosher - skater person
breadcake - a round bread roll - not sweet in any way!

hope this helps!

Answer 9

Y'know its one of those things that you just do automatically and its not till you get to America that you realise that not everyone that speaks English says these words! They are hard to think of when you try but i'll give it ago.
Loo - toilet
Idiot - silly person (not a person with a learning disability as in USA)
Gay, gayed, gayer - Can mean loads of different things (good and bad), it has very little to do with homosexuality, its a tricky one to explain, that is not used by many people in Britain. But I love it!!
Init - Used by some people at the end of every sentance, for no real meaning, or by some to actually mean 'isn't it'.
jublies - breasts
Wanker - masturbator (sounds weird when you put it like that!)
cheese on toast and maccarroni cheese - Rather than the weird **** you americans call it!!
Tap- faucet
Fanny - female genitals not bum (A.K.A butt)
Chav / council estate cacker - English version of white trash,
Scallys (as in scally-wag) - A person up to no good, usually a teenager would get called this, or a bunch of scallys.
Ned- Scotish phrase for bad teenagers I think.
Mate - friend
Mush - friend but mainly just in Southampton (its a bit chav though)
Rough - Can mean different things. Like eer, that drink is rough, or whar, I had a rough night! (which could mean good, but drank loads, or could mean had an argument etc.)

Argh thats my lot, can't think of any others right now, good question!

DON'T USE Mongol or Spacca as suggested by one person. They are terms to refer to disabled people and are HATED by lots of people. I've seen someone get decked (punched, and knocked out) for using these sort of words.

Answer 10

ok you seriously need to get a life im british and i don't even use half those slangs if you really want to know book a flight to england live there for about year have a note book and write down ever slang word you hear.

Answer 11

How about the euphemisms for using the toilet:

-Spend a penny
-Go to the little boys/girls' room
-Go down to the shores
-Have a tinkle
-Go down the lane....

Try watching Little Britain and Catherine Tate (both from the BBC) if you want strange things that English people might say.
