British Sayings – British Slang – British Words
- Off Your Trolley:
Off Your Trolley - This British Phrase Simply Means " Mad (in the Traditional Sense and not Angry in the American Sense) or Insane or Crazy. This is One of my Favourite British Sayings and, Yes I Spellt the Word "Favourite" the English Way. It's a British Site, after all, isn't it?

- Bovvered - Catherine Tate - Am I Bovvered:
A question made famous by UK comedienne Catherine Tate. Americans might say, “I could care less”, but literally it means, “Am I Bothered?” and is posed as a rhetorical question.
The word “bovvered” enjoyed such resurgence in the UK, that it was voted Word of the year in 2006 – in part due to its popularity on the aforementioned show.

- Sweet Fanny Adams:
Sweet Fanny Adams - Absolutely Nowt - Nothing! This is an Unusual British Saying that Has an Intriguing and Macabre Origin.
