Friday Favourites - British Slang

I don't what it is about British slang that I love so much. Maybe because it's way more creative and obscure than anything we have here. Plus they have a huge slang vobaulary. You can check out a really great British slang dictionary here. Without further ado here are some of my favourites.

Bloody Nora! - an exclamation of anger or surprise. Bloody Nora I wish you kids would be quiet.

Do me a lemon - do me a favour. Can you do me a lemon and pass me the salt.

Barmy - crazy Bloody Nora! Why are you acting all barmy tonight?

Belt up - shut up. Do me a lemon and belt up.

Give us a bell - call me. Give us a bell and we'll make plans for the weekend.

Slapper - a tramp Who's that slapper with Phil?

Wanker - jerk That Phil is quite a wanker.

Dog's Bollocks - fabulous Honey that dinner was the dog's bllocks.

As rare as hens teeth *or* as rare as rocking horse shit - descriptive, very uncommon Michael doing the laundry is about as rare as rocking horse shit.

Banjanxed - ruined I wish you had of told me you were going to be late, now dinner is banjaxed.

Beat seven shades of shit out of someone - descriptive Bloody Nora! I'm so angry dinner was banjaxed I could beat seven shades of shit out of someone.

Plonker - idiot Quit being such a plonker before I beat seven shades of shit out of you.

Oh I could go on and on. How much fun crack is it to talk like that? And the dirty manky ones are top draw too. I'd have posted some, but my parents read this. So go find them yourself. I encourage each and everyone one of you to start injecting some British slang into your vocabulary immediatley dreckly.
