PrintableAsylumUtopia said: Levi said: As you've probably already gethered, there's a LOT of regional variation. I'm Scottish, and we have a whole bunch of our own. And even within Scotland, there are regional variations. These are fairly common though:
Keech - crap Shite - like shit but a stronger expression (also used in the north of England) Boggin' - Dirty / Ugly Pish - similar to piss Dreech - description of a wet (rainy) day Oose - Fluff which gathers on clothes Ring Piece (possibly UK wide) - Spynchter (sp?) Oxter - Arm pit Bawbag - Scrotum There are many more besides, but that's plenty for you to be getting on with. And ... worth pointing out that in the UK, fanny is female genetalia, and is much more offensive here than in the US. Also, we have LOADS of words for 'drunk' (some of which you may also use): Pissed / mingin' / steamin' / rat-arsed / burlin' / shit-faced / blootered / hammered / full (or 'fu') and probably loads of others. L Also used in pretty much all of Ireland. Gobshite is also popular. Of course, sorry ... dind't mean to miss you guys out. Gobshite is a popular one in Scotland too. Tell us some more irish ones ... I'm just, I'm just Levi from the org | |

The brummies have one that we don't use here: "def it" meaning "forget it" e.g. "shall we go out?" "nah, def it" also used for someone who is ignoring you: e.g. "I saw him in the street and he just deffed me out completely. Fucking def out" Brummies say "laugh" as LARF instead of LAFF and "bath" as BARTH instead of BAFF. Posh bastards... 
I used to live up near Aberdeen...[b]I'd be walking down the street when folks past me they'd say "Fut leak"... 
I was sorta lokking round..  ...Until I was informed they were actually say "how are you today" ...
 [/b]'fut leak' means how are you doing? i'd never have guessed.
i know! think i'll just make up a bunch of colorful expressions then visit the UK and use them on people. for example: bry clanby, innit? = lovely morning, ain't it? glossin' smeely flik, eh? = better catch your dog before he bites the postman again think anyone would notice? | |

Levi said: AsylumUtopia said: Also used in pretty much all of Ireland. Gobshite is also popular. Of course, sorry ... dind't mean to miss you guys out. Gobshite is a popular one in Scotland too. Tell us some more irish ones ... Langered - drunk Stoned - drunk (only means drunk to god fearing older generation catholics who have never heard of cannabis and would consider the concept sinful, to the rest of us stoned just means stoned - as in cannabis) pissed as a fart - drunk pissed as a stick - drunk locked - drunk twisted - drunk me tonsils were afloat - I was drunk We seem to have quite a few ways of describing drunkeness too. I wonder why!
Amadan - idiot (not very popular anymore) Eejit - idiot Skanger - our equivalent of a chav (well if I have the correct understanding of what a chav is. A skanger is an inbred inner city thug who wears shell suits and stolen nikes, greets you by saying "Storeeeee" (short for what's the story) or "Buzzzz" (short for what's the buzz), kicks the shit out of you, steals your money and then says "no offence, bud" as he slouches off to buy his next wrap of gear with your money). Jaysus is also a popular expletive, but not one I use myself. Holy saint fuck - populAr expression of surprise, similar to saying fuckin' hell. There are tons of god/holy/jesus type ones, but you get the picture. GUBU used to popular a while back - it stands for Grotesque, Unbelievable, Bizarre, Unprecedented. That's about all I can think off at the moment. Lemmy, Bowie, Prince, Leonard. RIP. |

Muse2NOPharaoh said: Lashed is Jons that is so public school.
New words that us british youngster use include: Lime = Bad Chilled = Cool (yeah, cool just wasn't "cool" enough) Lagered = Drunk (an oldie, but still a cracker - ooh - cracker's another one we use, it means great) Scrot = Ballsack (nice) Batty = Gay (old too, but still in use - alternatives include bumboy, bummer) I got called a "dandy" the other day. Even I don't know what that means. | |
