British Slang Words & Phrases

I've always found this one interesting:

When a Brit plans a date with a girl, he'll tell her he'll pick her up at a certain time by saying:

"I'll knock you up at eight."

This has a completely different meaning in the USA, as you know!

Hal

 

Same meaning over here Hal - and no one ever said that to me

 

Fanny also means something else there.

 

Does it - don't be so sure

 

I thought it did.

Fanny is your derrière here...

 

Its yer bum bum here too !

 

I thought it was something else.....

 

Oh yea ……….? …………………. No ………………..
Not from my part of London anyway

 

Ok...so it's not your vajayjay?

A fanny pak is a purse that goes around your waist...

Going out to TJs now before I get in trouble.

 

We call that a 'bum bag' - awful things they are

Never heard that vajayjay before ( so pleased about that ) I'm such an innocent in these matters

 

Haha....I don't think we use "bum" so much, use butt more at least around here.

 

Ah yes - 'butt bag'

 

Very informative. Just keep going. There seem to be a lot of words I can pick up. Not innocent, though.

 

What about "Your Arse"?

Hal

 

What about it - that's a crude word in my book
