British Sayings – British Slang – British Words
- Bollocks!:
Bollocks - Slang Term for Absolute Rubbish. A load of Tatt. Someone Tells You A Little White Lie, Tell Them Bollocks To That!
- Chuffed to Bits:
Chuffed to Bits - This is another great British Slang Term. It means very pleased with or very happy about something and is very similar to another British Saying, "Pleased as Punch".
- Cream Crackered:
Cream Crackered - This is another bit of rhyming slang, which is very common in the cockney dialect. It rhymes with another bit of British slang called - "knackered". All of this simply means very tired or exhausted. Whether your knackered or cream crackered, this little British saying is a perfect retort when your friends want to drag you out on the town after a long day at work!
- Mad as a Hatter:
Mad as a Hatter - This wonderful British saying means completely crazy and is rather macabre in its origin. Hat makers (hatters) would commonly use mercury in the making of hats. The prolonged excessive exposure to this toxic chemical damaged the nervous system and caused them to shake uncontrollably. Thus making them appear to be completely insane or bonkers as we Brits would say.
- Throw a Wobbly:
Throw a Wobbly - Very similar to the British Saying, "Have a Benny", this British Slang term means to, "Throw a Fit" or "Have a Tantrum". Although in BritSlang.com's view, it's a little less violent than "Having a Benny".
