learn and use as much british slang as possible

The British say it like

bah-stad. Cute, no?

So much funnier than when we say

bass-turd. Ew!

This came courtesy of ze queen.

I learned about mardy through Benji. To me mardy means to pout in a dramatic way (and sounds kind of fun.) I hope thats right.

Thanks to sasspot for teaching me a new British word today.

Buskers are street performers where I’m from. Not that we have too many buskers in Milwaukee (maybe downtown).

Peaches helped me find a really brill site. I’ll add new words here from that site here. I like how this guy (or gal) writes his definitons…

Ace – If something is ace it is brilliant. I used to hear it a lot in Liverpool. Kids thought all cool stuff was ace, or brill.

Aggro – Short for aggravation, it’s the sort of thing you might expect at a football match. In other words – trouble! There is sometimes aggro in the cities after the pubs shut!

All right? – This is used a lot around London and the south to mean, “Hello, how are you”? You would say it to a complete stranger or someone you knew. The normal response would be for them to say “All right”? back to you. It is said as a question. Sometimes it might get expanded to “all right mate”? Mostly used by blue collar workers but also common among younger people.

Anti-clockwise – The first time I said that something had gone anti-clockwise to someone in Texas I got this very funny look. It simply means counter-clockwise but must sound really strange to you chaps! I think he thought I had something against clocks!

Any road – Up north (where they talk funny!!) instead of saying anyway, they say “any road”! Weird huh?

Where is everybody?

Bloody Hell

Bloody Peasy.

Fancy a cup of tea, Loves?

I’m changing my goal of “use the word “Bugger” more” to “learn and use as much british slang as possible.” Thanks to her2blueyes.

Are you taking the piss?!!!

Translation: Are you kidding me?!

LOL

I love this word, you bugger! (Don’t you think YOU should use this word more too?) Johnny Depp actually inspired this goal in Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead Man’s Chest. That was an awesome move – best villain, ever. But I digress. Bugger!!
