British Sayings – British Slang – British Words
- Sweet Fanny Adams: Sweet Fanny Adams - Absolutely Nowt - Nothing! This is an Unusual British Saying that Has an Intriguing and Macabre Origin. In 1867 an Young Lady was Killed and Her Corpse Butchered by a Man Named Frederick Baker. A Couple of Years Later, British Seamen Were Given Tinned Mutton as Rations. They Decided that it Tasted so Bad it Must be the Remains of Fanny Adams. From that Point on, "Fanny Adams" became Slang for Mutton or Stew and Later on Anything Worthless.
- Bees Knees: The Bees Knees - I'm Fantastic. I'm Fabulous. I'm the Bee's Knees. Let Everyone Know Precisely How Proud You Are to Hail from the Other Side of the Pond with This Funny British Saying.
- Bollocks!: Bollocks - Slang Term for Absolute Rubbish. A load of Tatt. Someone Tells You A Little White Lie, Tell Them Bollocks To That!
- What Are You Like?: What Are You Like? - This recent British Saying is used when you see someone do something rather silly or outrageous. Similar to the rhetorical, "What are you doing?"
- Dodgy: Dodgy - Not To Be Trusted. Used Car or Second Hand Car Sales Men, to us Brits are "Dodgy". Kebabs from your Local Chippy (Fish and Chips Shop) on a Friday Night after a Good Booze Up can be Dodgy as well as Curry from your Indian.
- Queen's English: Queen's English - Perfectly Proper English Language Pronunciation. Usually spoken by the Upper Crust of British Society.
- Gert Macky: Gert Macky - Gi-normous, Huge, Out of This World! This is a Bristolian specific expression that many other Brits would have never ever heard of.
- Red Rag to a Bull: Red Rag to a Bull - To purposely provoke someone into an adverse reaction. Say for example you "borrow" your sister's best frock and then flaunt it in front of her down your local on a Friday night. Now you'd be asking for it - that's like a "red rag to a bull" and certain to end quite nastily!
- Slap & Tickle: Slap & Tickle - Have A Bit Of A Snog or Making Out to our American Counterparts. A Tongue-in-Cheek British Saying that's a Bit Naughty But Nice!
- Get Knotted!: Get Knotted! - A Not So Polite Way to Tell Someone Who's Being a Bit of a Nuisance to Get Stuffed.
- A Load of Codswallop: A Load Of Codswallop - A Load Of Rubbish, Crap.
- 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".
- Jammy: Jammy - Superlicously Luvverly! Another Bristolian Sparkler. If You Happen Whilst Walking Down the Street to Find a £50 Note, then You Could be a Very "Jammy" Sod Indeed - Or Very Lucky in Everyone Else's Language!
- Englishman's Home is His Castle: An Englishman's Home is His Castle - This English dictum means that a man's home is his world to do as he pleases with no rules - in general. It dates back to the 17th Century when Sir Edward Coke, declared in the "Institutes of the Laws of England,1628 that: - "For a man's house is his castle, et domus sua cuique est tutissimum refugium (and each man's home is his safest refuge" In modern times, the majority of Brits still believe in this to an extent. It's common for a man to look upon his place of domain as his kingdom
- Bloke: Bloke - A Strange and Befuddling Word to the Americans. Try Using it as a Verb Instead of a Noun. I'm Right Bloked, I am! A British Bloke is You Guessed it. It's a Guy.
