Hey Pandas, What's Your Favorite UK Slang Word And What Does It Mean? (Closed)

Bollocks

Pie Hole - Mouth. Cake Hole - Mouth. Arsehole - Piers Morgan.

Not so much a phrase, so much as what you can add to a phrase. Take anything around you, then add you absolute Infront of it, and then you ave an English insult

'Ow do? is my favourite expression from my home county of North Yorkshire. It means "How's it going?" but sounds so warm and welcoming. Best response? "Can't complain, pet"

“Trump”. It means fart

Reight chuffed. When something makes you happy.

Bell end. The end of a p****r or when one is acting like a d!ckhead.

A reminder to visitors to our shores, most swear words can be used as a sign of affection, so getting called a "f****r" or a "c**t" is not necessarily an insult, but it could be! Depends on tone and context. No wonder English can be considered a hard language, especially as us natives do our best to make it incomprehensible to most others.

Mardy.

East Midlands, meaning someone in a mood.

Mardy Bastard.

Someone who is usually in a mood.

K******d.

Pillock.

Wazzock.

Numpty.

S**t for brains.

Plonker.

Dingleberry.

Cockwomble.

Numpty.

Lived in Yorkshire for a few years and now "Anything" is "Owt" and "Nothing" is "Nowt". Try it!

Cob. The ONLY name for a bread roll, East Midlands again.

It was hard to think of one that we don't also use in Australia! Then I remembered the word naff, meaning to lack taste or style. One I just found odd (and that confused my drama class, including the teacher, when we were doing a English play) was 'anorak' which is literally a raincoat, but in the context we found it, meant a nerd. Not understanding it, the teacher changed it to the word cardigan, which of course made even less sense in context!

"Twat" it rhymes with "Hat" not "Swat". It can have two meanings.
1. A minor insult - "You're a twat"
2. To hit - "Oh no! A spider! Quick, twat it with this newspaper!"

Tegs are teeth in some places!!!

Tipsy, squiffy, blotto, sloshed, smashed, hammered, trolleyed, plastered, mullered, paralytic, s**t faced, pissed, wankered.
All mean drunk.

Hanging/hanging out of my a**e mean hungover.

The best and probably original swear in the UK is F**k

F**k Me! Im amazed
F**k you! You're an idiot
F**k off! Go away
F*****g hell! No bloody way!
F**k! Literally for anything at anytime for anything!
I dont give a f**k! I dont care
Aww f**k ! Didnt want that to happen

etc etc very f*****g versatile word is F**k

Oh, there are *way* too many to choose just one, but as a techie, 'Dodgy' (of poor quality or workmanship) is a top ranking entry. The British to American Dictionary has a good list of slang (https://www.effingpot.com/chapters/slang/), but he seems to be unaware that Americans are already quite familiar with many of these. Compo Simmonite's use of 'Any road' (anyway) on 'Last of the Summer Wine' was quite charming. And Cockney Rhyming Slang can be delightful, as seen in the theme from the original 'Italian Job' - This is the self-preservation society,
This is the self-preservation society

Go wash your German bands, your boat race too
Comb your barnet, fair we've got alot to do
Put on your dickie dirt and your peckham rye
'Cause time's soon hurrying by

Get your skates on mate
Get your skates on mate

No bib around your Gregory Peck today, eh?
Drop your plates of meat right up on the seat
This is the self-preservation society,
This is the self-preservation society

Gotta get a bloomin' move on
Babadab-babadabadab-bab-ba
Jump in the jam jar gonna get straight
(Babadab-babadabadab-bab-ba)
Hurry up mate, gonna be late
How's your father?
Tickety boo, tickety boo
Gotta get a bloomin' move on
