British Sayings – British Slang – British Words
- Chip Butty: Chip Butty - This unusual British Slang word is actually a food group unto itself in the UK. It is beyond fattening in its construction. Made from a bread roll, spread lovingly with lashings of butter and stuffed to the rafters with chips, it is guaranteed to clog up those arteries in a hurry. Dieters be for warned!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- 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".

- Tudor Dynasty of England Clothing: The Tudor dynasty ruled England from 1485 to 1603. Their story encompasses some of the most impressive and extraordinary dealings in European history.

The Renaissance society was very mindful of fashion, and their gear was tremendous, intricate, stylish sophisticated and most importantly
- Bob's Your Uncle: Bob's Your Uncle - This Brit Saying Always Reminds me of Bob Monkhouse. Other Brits Will Know Who I'm on About. There's Not Much More British Than This Expression Which Means, "Presto" to the Rest of the World. Bob's Your Uncle? - There You Go! You Might Get a Lot of Strange Looks from Persons who've Actually Got an Uncle Called Bob, Just Don't Spend Too Much Time Trying to Educate Them. Yeah, We Call Our Uncles Bob Over There...It's A Term of Endearment...
- By The Short And Curlies: By The Short And Curlies - To get caught In a Bind, As It Were?
- Voddy: Voddy - Us Brits love to abbreviate words or add a "Y" to the end and this British Word didn't escape either. It's the English way of saying Vodka.
