Quid Means a £ same as an American $ is known as a Buck Quids in means you have had a cash wind fall.
How about Smeg Not used down South but with people from Liverpool. Used a lot in the TV version of Red Dwarf
I don't know much British slang, but I love to say "chuffed." Such a great word. Oh, and occasionally I'm "cheesed."
Chuffed here means , very pleased, or even proud... ''Cheesed'' wouldn't be used on it's own... the phrase is ''Cheesed off''.. meaning really fed up..or irritated.. ( not angry or annoyed)... just really ''pissed'' Incidentally the word ''pissed'' here , means really drunk... you have to use the phrase ''pissed off'' to have the same meaning as Americans...( to be angry or annoyed)
Yes, I know the meaning of "chuffed." I learned it from a Scottish poster on another site I frequent. For some reason I just really like that word!! In this area of the country we have dropped "off" and just say cheesed or pissed, lol.
We say 'Oops a daisy' when someone trips over I wonder who Daisy was - accident prone, that's for sure
"Oops a daisy" is also used here, Patsy. Though I don't hear it much anymore. How about "wanker" or "tosser?"
OH lol.. well you wouldn't say that to a guy's face .. not if you want to walk away without a fat lip... However it is widely used as derogatory term.....but not in proper company if you understand ma meanin'....
