I found this website and it keeps me and my pal at work IN STITCHES...we started using some cockney rhyming slang around the office to chat about coworkers and bosses and stuff.
I really like "bang one out"...it just sounds so bloody cool.
and i started saying 'bugger!" for everything...what a groovy word...that and "piss off!" when I tell people to go away...they look at me like I'm angry or something...:)

I try hard not to use too many in here 'cos I don't want to confuse the non-Brits. Now I find myslef using American expressions. It's nice to have a change I guess.
Cockney slang is funny though. Asking the barmaid for a pint of Nelson.

| I just heard on NPR something about Nelson meaning (in Australia) "111" as in a cricket score? Something about some guy named, appropriately, Nelson, who had one arm one leg and one tooth left at the end of a game? Sounds loopy. |

Yeah that is completely different Apl, but good work all the same. Funny Aussies.
No Nelson is Cockney Slang for Stella Artois (the lager). Nelson Mandella, Stella.

Classic signs of denial.

You should be handed little handy booklets explaining the various slang you're likely to encounter as you go through customs at Heathrow. There's still stuff that confuses me after living here for how ever many years it is now.
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

Hehe, very good. My favourite is 'Bag of wank'.
If you run your mouse over it really quickly, you get a swearfest, like a room full of Liam Gallaghers and it's hard to make out any actual words. If it ends on 'Big dog's cock' though, that trails behind so you can hear it clearly at the end. Pretty funny.

Cheesey' right, Homers. Ain't no shame in a little
Chav action. Cheeseman's taught me all I know and
I'm grateful to him. I'd love to learn more.

| calling someone a chav is basically pointing out they're working class. it's a pretty snobish psuedo-middle class thing to do, and basically comes down to class discrimination. |

you think?
its got nothing to do with shiney white adidas trackies, chains outside your tees, spitting everytime you step, swearing, wearing socks OVER your trousers, wearing a cap at a stupid angle, buntered up cars, no manners blah blah blah....?
sorry Steve, i'm from a working class background but have respect and no not to intimidate because you have nothing better to do. Plus i've spent too long up Blackpool, they're f**kin' everywhere. i don't think it's to do with class. |

they just wind me up when i'm driving down the road and they're just casually walking across the street, knowing the cars are coming but slow to a crawl to prove how hard they are. boys! i'm in a fuckin' car, if this hits you, you're dead! you don't have to prove to me you own the streets, i don't live here.
sorry steve, you should try visiting blackpool more often. it's a plague.
and i will and do
GCSE or 2?
if only you knew |

No Kathryn, being a chav is something to be very much ashamed of. Chavs are just tasteless.

I have to say, I love the british slang. Its so much better htan yank slang. heh.
When i was younger i used to have a proper cockney accent, all the slang and everythng. Cant barely remember any of it though. I do remember going to a neighbours house once and being shocked at her mum saying 'its up the STAIRS'....me and mum always said apple and pears for years. weird.

| So, you're saying I should straighten my retro Nike baseball cap, stop buying new white Adidas sneakers everytime they get scuffed, put my gold chains inside my huge white t-shirt and shave off my little thin 'stache and burns combo? Then how will I attract all the gorgeous mami's? |
