Sayings in England/London?

Question

i was just wondering what are like the sayings that people use in london like rubbish?

Answer 1

peng,boom,boomting (hot)

brederin, blad, blud, bruv, mate (friend)

init (isnt it)

thats like urbanised london.

then theres cockney:

very famous cockney rhyming slang: rubber dub(pub) apple and pears (ears) dog and bone (telephone)

urmm :/ ..

mobile phone (cell phone)

''give em a buzz'' (give them a ring)

rubbish (trash)

lift(elevator)

bog (toilet)

reppin (representing)

most of us try to make things sound funny. so in stead of saying jay-zey.. they'd say jay-zed.

i don;t know what else.

Answer 2

bollocks, rubbish = bad, not true

fit, peng (lol i dont use this but its popular amongst teenagers from London apparently) = hot, good looking

meet, snog = make out

buttie/sarnie = sandwich

nappy = diaper

berk, div = idiot

blag = to get something by scrounging

bloke, lad, fella = man

bog, loo = toilet

chav = person of low intelligence, usually wearing fake gold jewellry (bling) and tracksuits, fake Nikes etc...walks around throwing insults at random members of public. i guess its the white equivalent of a gangster expect they dont belong to a gang...well some probably do

chuffed = pleased, happy

cop off with, get off with, pull = to have s*x with someone

jammy = lucky...for example 'you jammy bugger'

kecks = trousers, pants

kip = quick sleep, nap

piff = superior than average, but is also another term for marijuana

alky, p**s head, wino = alcoholic

(to be) pissed, rat faced, bladdered = drunk

hard (mainly said like 'ard') = tough...you might describe someone as 'well 'ard mate!'

"up yours!" = same as f *** you

id be here forever listing it all, theres so much slang in the UK and theres different slang everywhere, im from near Liverpool and the slang i use and hear is nothin like what you would find in London, and i cant understand loads of slang even though i live here!

Answer 3

It's not just London, we're quite a small country, so most idioms are used everywhere. I assume you're asking about differences between American and British English? If so, here are some:

Elevator - lift

truck - lorry

trash - rubbish

kleenex - tissue

bathroom - toilet/loo

First floor - ground floor (first floor is the floor directly above the ground floot)

Happy holidays - Happy Christmas

f***y - bottom/bum (f***y means something completely different here!)

I already ate - I've already eaten (this is quite common, we tend to make it longer in British English).

There are plenty more but I can't think of any!
