Getting tarted up or putting your slap (makeup) on, are two.

I was thinking of dressing "smart" but I like the two you suggested. smile


Done up like a dog's dinner. Dressed up a lot, but not in a nice way.

why do the tubes always have to be crowded with tossers and muppets? i know, i know, you're going to say "you wanker. stop complaining and just drive to work". well, i would but i'm skint. anyway i was nearly pranged by a lorry that missed the give-way - the driver was a prime knob-shank at that, and should have been sporting an L plate. luckily i was wearing my trainers so i got out of the way as his bonnet swept past. he knocked a few cats eyes off the tarmac but i wasn't hit. not a bobby in sight, naturally.

anyway this morning the tubes were absolutely packed. i thought i was lucky when i found a seat besides a tatty old man eating week-old sponge fingers. he offered me one but i'd already had a lovely serving of toad-in-the-hole so i refused. he was chuffed at that so i told him i thought the sponge fingers were cracking but i was full up. well, you'd have thought i'd called the queen mum a slag. he simply wouldn't belt up about it until i figured i might as well have a bash so i took a sponge finger and bit into it.

my mistake and hard cheese to me. the damn thing made my stomach heave and i got a full body rash immediately. he grinned and smiled like he'd done me a huge favor so i tipped him five quid and got off when the line ended. i spent most of the day in the convenience, and after work headed right for the general practitioner's office. he told me i'd be right as rain in a few days and that i should lay off the fags.

next time i think i'll walk to work. neutral

A friend of mine who was American, a few years back now asked me, "how was the meal?" and I said "nice" and he freaked out, "nice?" "nice? " He seemed really put out. lol

hah!

I also love it how they say "what do you do?" in reference to your major in university... I picked that up and used it for a while over here but have since stopped because it requires too much explaining.

gareth has been drinking lots of Brains lately... something I haven't experienced... but it's really funny when we're on the phone. "I had four pints of Brains Premium earlier..."

and wank, too! wank can be used interchangeably with rubbish and pants.

there seems to be an obsession with piss too...

pissed - drunk

pissed off - irritated

piss off - go away

piss myself - laugh my head off

piece of piss - very easy

piss-head - someone who likes getting drunk

if something is 'pump', it is bad.

if something is 'diamond', it is good.

btw, i'd normally only use 'fanny magnet' in the context of cars. E.G.

"that bloke got wasted on saturday and totalled his fanny magnet."

...equals...

"that man got drunk on saturday and crashed his car beyond repair."

nod

knickers = girls' underwear
pants = boys' underwear (normally - can potentially include girls' but usually panties would be used instead)

pants is also used as a derogatory term, meaning "useless" or "rubbish".

so - "that new CD by 50 cent is absolute pants."

If there is one over-riding request I get from our customers (bearing in mind we are talking people like Beefeater and Frankie & Benny's and nice polite places like that) it is "Strictly NO RAP"

Mind you, one guy once said he didn't want a Celine Dion song within 10 miles of one of his sites - which is pretty dumb seeing as she has sold tens of millions of albums to exactly the kind of people who are eating in his restaurant/pub chain. Sometimes personal taste has to go on the backburner - see also my Slayer/ Slipknot collection rarely getting a look in at work big grin
