What are some fancy words for everyday things?

Question

Like just some ways to say everyday things like when I say "bye" to people I say "ta-ta!" You know, stuff like that. Sorta like the character Bitsy from Rhymes With Witches.

Answer 2

Ive picked up some UK slang from a friend in England (Im in the US)  ... that I love.  

Blar de Blar-- nonsense

Example:

My teacher was telling me I need to study more, do more homework, less talking in class  and all that "blar de blar."

I liked this one too.

Layabouts

Example :  England is being overrun with "layabouts" from other countries, taking advantage of our generosity.

Also like when he uses Posh.

Example:

I dont care for attending posh do's, prefer regular home parties.

(Do's is short for To do's or party)

Answer 3

Saying goodbye?  Ciao.  Later!  Be safe.  Godspeed.  For getting coffee?  Cup of Joe, cup o' mud.  Greeting someone?  Allo!  Heddo.  (my older son always greets me with this.  Love it.)  Pauly Shore called food - 'grindage'.  Have fun watching more come in!

Answer 4

tiddies

Answer 5

Bedroom - Chambers/sleeping quarters

Party - Soiree

Tissue - Serviette

To like something - tickle my fancy

I/we -  One

Everyday people - proletariat or hoi polloi

Ignorant person - Ignoramus  

That's all I can think of I thought this would be easier
