Hey You British Chaps!

pardzh · May 2004

Crikey, govnuh!

I think I'm going to have to start saying "peg it", that's actually a decent term you Brits got there.

Some Weegie slang:

"You waant tae square go ya pr**k?" - You want to fight?

"Ahm gonnae f**ken chib ye ya bam!" - I'm going to f**king stab you!

"F**ken moan then!" - Bring it on! (usually said after the first quote in this post)

"F**ken yas!" - The person is happy in for some reason.

"Ya doss c**t" - You idiot.

That'll do for now <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

what about "TALLYHOOOO!!!"?

SoulSkorpion · May 2004

I like The Streets... in the same way that I like Ali G. Certainly he's more interesting than the slew of American hip-hop.

(er... hm. Let's see if I can write the rest of this post without offending anyone)

I once was playing NS (in Australia), and some guy from America joined. Must have had a really l33t connection. Anyway, after a while, he asked if we were Brittish. When we asked why he thought that he said it was because we kept using the word "bloody", much to our amusement.

Right. On topic. Yes, getting to it.

You said Aussie slang is ok too, so here's a little bit...

<i>bloody</i> - all purpose adjective, used for emphasis.
<i>bloody hell</i> - pseudo-curse, or expression of incredulity (depending on tone)
<i>bloody oath!</i> - "that's for sure!"
(substitute f*** for bloody in any of the above for added emphasis)
<i>g'day</i> - <b>nobody ever uses this</b>.
<i>mate</i> - person.
<i>bugger!</i> - pseudo-curse. Does not usually mean its technical definition. We had a long-running Toyota ad campaign featuring this wonderful word which offended various "it's our job to be offended by stuff" people, and it was eventually ruled that this word is not considered profane.
<i>it's buggered</i> - "it's broken"
<i>I'm buggered</i> - "I'm really tired."
Alternatively, use "stuffed" to avoid offending the very easily offended.
<i>bugger me!</i> - "I don't believe it!"
<i>daks</i> - pants
<i>trackie daks</i> - "tracksuit pants"; warm, long, softish pants too daggy to wear outside the house, but really comfortable.
<i>daggy</i> - dorky

Zig · May 2004

thanks skorp!

Crono5 · May 2004

Innit!

Avast ye, chavvie!

esuna · May 2004

Have some more:

<i>sod</i> - Technically it's a small stone used for building walls, but generally it's a very very very mild swear word. You'd only really say it as a joke like "sod off" or "oh, you little sod". This isn't slang really either, it's just a word only used by brits.
<i>git</i> - Same as sod (minus the stone part), only really ever said jokingly.
<i>'alf inched</i> - Stolen.
<i>f*g</i> - Cigarette.
<i>tab</i> - Cigarette.
<i>knackered</i> - Tired.
<i>beer</i> - ****-weak, warm pseudo-beer lager.
<i>pi**ed</i> - Drunk.
<i>hammered</i> - Drunk (Not sure if this is used elsewhere, probably is).
<i>legless</i> - Drunk (Same again...).

Thansal · May 2004

I think zig is gona get stabed over this.

so you care explaining WHY you want all of these silly buggers to tell you slang/british english?

hehe, I just have the problem that a good number of good SF/Fantasy writers are british (thus I end up with british spellings, an a couple of british phrases <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />)

Zig · May 2004

so i can get buggered :3

Thansal · May 2004

seeing how bugger is ment in the literal sense in my mind (generaly by redneck trees <a href='http://www.somethingpositive.net/' target='_blank'>SP</a>)

right, lets just leave it there.

Zig · May 2004

i'm just (how do you say "kidding"?) kidding.

To say "kidding" it'd usually be "'avin' a laugh", as in, having a bit of fun. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Also, your usage of "so i can get buggered", even to us brits, that makes it sound like you want to be literally buggered.

Zig · May 2004

i said i was joking XD

Snidely · May 2004

I can't believe noone's said the word "nonce" yet. Come <i>on</i>, people! It's begging to be said!

antifreeze · May 2004

yes but nonce falls into charva territory. Along with other stupid words such as:
Posse - Gang
Ding - Idiot
dissin - Insulting (this may be a normal word for other countries, not the uk)

Thing is you dont wanna be learning british words. After going down south on holiday what you wanna learn is the accent of a cornish farmer <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

I know what innit actually means. I also just happen to believe that saying it actively destroys braincells. Innit, I is gonna get my krew on you, innit. Safe.

ZiGGY · May 2004

it appears you speak from experience... innit tbh

SaltzBad · May 2004

'Innit'. 'Innit'.

If it actively destroys braincells, shouldn't I be getting a buzz now?

Monkfish · May 2004

Also , you have to shout 'feck' (not trying to bypass the filter , go watch father ted) 'arse' 'girls' and 'drink' at random , preferably in public. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

Mr_JeburtO · May 2004

heres some words that the <span style='color:white'>Dodge this.</span> townie kids are using,

heavy,
safe,
spafe,
minted,
stored, (god i laughed at the kid you said "yo mate your how stored are you?")

cant think of anymore at the minit and...wel.. there just to **** to be repeated frankly,

oh i thought of a swear my grandad uses, instead of saying feck he says oh blood and stomach pills, (man hes old school <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> )
