"quid" seem to confuse you guys - means pound "£" and is the equivalent of "buck" for dollar except that it is never plural - a quid is £1 - ten quid is £10 or better known as a "tenner".
Twenty quid is £20 - but that is also called a "score" in cockney, 'undred quid (cockneys are from the east end of London and never pronounce the "h") £100 is a "ton" in cockney and five 'undred quid £500 is a "monkey" in cockney

Snog only has one g in it! Dog and bone is just cockney rhyming slang. There's a million of those words! How about hooter (nose), lug hole (ear). Try the web site below for a laugh!! Try the one after for a few more words too.

Bloody hell? LMAO! i personally had no clue what that means... or i did.. but i just found that funny.
Rubber-necking? When you drive on the freeway and there's a car accident occur and people slow down to watch and that created traffic.. and once you pass that car accident, traffic goes back to normal? ya.. that's. Rubber-Necking..

My favourite British saying is "Scrubber" as in "she's a scrubber!"
The American equivalent is "She's a skanky ho!"
