British Sayings – British Slang – British Words
  • 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...
  • You're the Bees Knees!: You're the Bees Knees - You're Fantastic. You're Fabulous. You're the Bee's Knees. Let the Special People in Your Life Know Exactly What You Think, With This Say It Out Loud UK Slogan. This Design on T-Shirts, apparel t-shirts, Mugs and Stickers.
  • Wanker: Wanker - Time For A Little Anecdote. My English Friend and I were Driving Along When a Maniac Almost Took off the Side of My Car. In Unison We Both Yelled WANKER Out the Window. It Was A Thing of Beauty!
  • 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!
  • Keep Your Hair On!: Keep Your Hair On! - Calm Down! Such a Visual British Slang Term. You can Imagine Someone Actually Losing their Hair in a Fit of Rage. Nice!
  • Nookie: Nookie - Have A Bit Of The Other - Sex. Again this British Phrase a Bit Naughty but a Covert Way to Let Someone Know What You Were Really up to Last Night.
  • 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".
  • Queen's English: Queen's English - Perfectly Proper English Language Pronunciation. Usually spoken by the Upper Crust of British Society.
  • Bugger!: Bugger! - S_ _ _! D_ _ _! Usually Used After You've Done Something Wrong or "buggerd" something up
  • Hanky-Panky: Hanky-Panky - To Have A Bit Of A Snog or "Making Out" in American English.  It's Original Meaning is That of Trickery or Shenanigans But it's More Commonly Used in the First Sense in Modern England.
  • 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!
  • 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.
  • Ark at Eee!: Ark at Eee - Another Bit of Bristolian Slang That Simply Means: Listen to Him or Her! A True Colloquial expression from Bristol, England.
