Favourite Brit Speak?

I don't think anyone mentioned one of my favorites . . . calling a place a "tip" when it's a mess.  Also the phrase "bits and bobs" makes me smile.  
As for dislikes, I am also irritated by "cow" to describe a woman but find it ever-so-slightly less offensive to be called a "silly moo" instead.  

I don't mind "cow" but I love "pants" and "can't be assed" and use the latter two almost daily!

I can't deal with sentences ending in "yeah" or "doyouknowwhatImean".

I will never ever ever say rubber instead of eraser or plug hole instead of drain.

I'm sure there's tons more.

Well here I go cross-posting ;)Like I said I got in the habit of saying "yeah" or "you know what I mean" too at the end of a sentence,lol.My hubby says yeah soooo much.

Also another cross post is "taking the Mick" that sounds   to me too hehehehe

"plug hole" thats too funny!How about bloody
 Anyone a rugby fan here?Iam now lol
 "try" for our touchdown
 " Whimping out" going to the ground so you wont be tackled .
 Yeppers I know there are many more but I cant think right  now.

Favs:

Hate:
-Bog (for toilet)
-The way they say pasta
-Gendarmes - what a horrible sounding word.  I know it's french but still very often used by brits so it counts

-"What are you like"
-"The lurg"
-Mens names being abbreviated with z (Gazza, Bazza) I absolutely DETEST that one more than any other
-"Mug's game"
-A brace - instead of braceS
-Mint <-- "That's well mint, that is"
-There's another one, the fact that they repeat the last two words.  "You're a right pillock, you are", "It's bloody cold outside, it is".  Like, yeah.. I get it, I heard you the first time.  

-Bladdered
-Constant use of "Indeed" at the end of every sentence
-Pet Hate (noooo it's PEEVE)

Sillier ones:
-Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles  hahaha
-Snakes and Ladders
-Opal Fruits
-The way Sean calls CDs, tapes, and mp3s, "records"


I really could go on here..  

Some of my ones are:

Bung...
grotty....
scrummy...
and kit....

When l was living in Scotland a lot of women would say "How ya doing, hen?" The first time someone called me that l just about fell over "Where's the bread hen?" I had to as DH about that one! Then the other was PET "Hi Pet!  :-/

One of my favorites is "Pack it in" l love it! We say it to the cats when they start "messing about" The cats will stop, they know we mean business when we say it too!      Cheeky b*ggars just move it to another room!  

I like muppet.  What an endearing way to call someone a fool.

Teh drama....

Right before I came over we (my family and I) started calling David a muppet.  In fact, my sister even gave me a going away present, a small Grover doll, so I "...can have a Grover in your bed every night!"

Little did we know...

That muppet is actually an insult in England.  And now my last name is Grover....sigh.


wench

I love when my MiL calls me flowerpot or petal.

And my boss cracks me up saying "You're a lil chuchy (choochy?  dunno) face aren't you?"

hehe

BOLLOCKS

hehe...I wish I could say it was something that mild I was screaming at my cat this morning when he woke me up at 5:00 am.

Elle can my cat join your insomniac club? lol Actually he's not an insomniac...he just sleeps all day and decides to be a little a$$ and keep me up at night.

lol  sure, why not!

lol elle, every club needs a mascot huh?

Lol great topic! I first learned massive does of Brit Slang from "Sugar" magazine when I was still in middle school, I pretty much love it all--and here in America my family actually says "loo" for Bathroom/WC. You could call me a trend setter lol

but here is one I simply cannot get used to:

"TWIGLET"---wtf....

Not to say "pretzel" is the greatest of words but really...

I first heard this word on "MI-5" ("Spooks") and I figure if Matthew Mc.Fadyen (Tom Quinn ) says it, and I still don't like it, I may never.

Cheers,

"When l was living in Scotland a lot of women would say "How ya doing, hen?"

How about  "Di ye ken?"  Hear this in Perth, Scotland a lot. Ken= understand

"TWIGLET"---wtf....

A twiglet is not a pretzel.  It's a marmite flavoured snack that is very twig-like in appearance.  It's possibly what evil might taste like.  

It's the snack of the devil.

One thing that annoys me is the London slang of adding "idn't it" (isn't it) on to the ends of sentences- especially cause it rarely makes any sense like:

"I'm going over to the rugby match, idn't it"
??

I REALLY love "pressurized" and I use it all the time, My husband and I are always accusing each other of pressurizing each other to do things, tee hee!!

At work I picked up "knackered" and "shattered" pretty quickly and usually at the end of a shift everything would "go pear shaped" haha!
