British Sayings – British Slang – British Words
- 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.
