British Sayings – British Slang – British Words
  • 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.
  • Sod's Law!: Sod's Law! - If Something Can Go Wrong, It Will! A British Twist on that Old Chestnut Known More Commonly as "Murphy's Law"
  • Zed: Zed - the letter Zee to the Americans. It's the last letter in the alphabet but probably the most popular. And even in the ABC children's' ditty we Brits rhyme Zed with Cee at the end. Works for me!
  • By The Short And Curlies: By The Short And Curlies - To get caught In a Bind, As It Were?
  • Get Stuffed: Get Stuffed! - Faff Off Not Doing the Trick, Then? Try This Slightly More Obvious Expression. This Cool Design Gets Funny UK T-Shirts Stamp of Approval. Don't You Wish You Had a T-shirt Like This at School? Could Have Saved You the World of Time!
