Great Phrases Of Great Britain.

I thought SMEG was actually the resedue of sperm on the penis? It is also used as a swear word by a liverpoolian named "Lister" on the british TV program "Red Dwarf"
 
Nice bit of crumpet!

Cor blimey
A nod is as good as a wink to a blind bat
queue

I watched an episode of superman the other day (I know, shut up) and he flew to england to do some of his hero crap, and when he got there everyone was wearing porkpie hats, tweed suits and smoking pipes. Is that really how other people still perceive England? cos if it is, god damn!

It was actually one of the newer episodes, with Dean Cane in it.
But I never realise that I did the same sort of thing when I think of places in America, like Texas or Chicago. I'm sure not all Texans are like this guy

Some Scottish ones.
===============

I'm away for a "Jimmy White" - I'm away for a shite (or ****)

Jimmy White is a snooker player from England,who to them was fanstastic but he rarely won anything worth while.So as Scots think he's ****.

I'm away for a "Single fish" - I'm away for a **** (or whis as some of you Yanks would say)

Shareen Nanjiani - Fanny (Or some nice woman/women)

You can look up Shareen Nanjiani on google.She used to be a presenter on the Scottish news- quite tasty was was too.

Dobber - Penis

Thud - Pussy

Gobble - BJ

There are a million more but i'd be here all night :*****:
 
Wow. Long time no post. Anyway, 5 years later shows how often I come across these fresh and golden phrases. It just so happens this one is Scottish to. I'm prone to believe that the Scots like the Aussies are the best at English slang. As they are derivations of the empire the shadow of Shakespeare and proper English isn't nearly as strong as say proper England might be. There's a certain casual potency there. Anyways...

I heard a guy on Reddit say something was "...the biggest pile of shite [sic] I have ever seen in my puff..."

Life = Puff

I love that. What better to casually illustrate the blink of an eye that life can be for us than "puff". It beckons a certain Carpe Diem, enjoy it while you can weariness in just one turn of a word.
 
Picked up some Irish slang recently...

"Dose" n : Something that's a lot to take - most likely a heroin reference. "That's a pure does in'it?"

"Maul" v : To make out. "Wanna maul?"

"Fuck Off!" like we say "No Way!", or Elaine from Seinfeld says "Get. OUT!".

Wait for it...

More Mick slang...

Shitehawk - n - A do nothing young man with a haircut trendy 15 years ago.

"Beyond The Lights" - Beyond the city limits where the glow of city lights ends. Similar to the american phrase "bridge and tunnel" crowd.
"Dublins me home. Besides anytime I end up venturing beyond the lights it's full of shitehawks and pikeys"

I think it's safe to say the culture that bred Dylan Thomas and James Joyce is alive and well. I just need to get to Ireland again and soak up these phrases. Brill!
 
Glasgow has some of the finest examples of the English language.

"Get tae fuck" - means Fuck off, go away 'tae' being the Glaswegian way of saying 'to'
"Am away fae a jobby" - Im going to have a ****
bawbag - literally 'ball bag' as in testicles, its used as both an insult and a term of enderement
"going to get me messages" - going to get some shopping
giz a swatch - lets have a look
 
For the first time in a very, very long time, I was really in the Christmas spirit this year. For once, it was like a perfect storm of good things and no bad things going on. So I spent the days before Christmas wishing people (whether I knew them or not) a "Happy Christmas". Strange how that annoyed some people. The only ones who didn't eventually get wound up were Downton Abbey fans... which I guess is where I picked that phrase up.
