British Sayings – British Slang – British Words
- Yer Tiz: Yer Tiz - More Bristol England Words - Can't Find That Special Pair Daps Your Mum Bought You For Your Burfday - Then Finally You Spot Them Under the Settee, Next to Your Dad's Old Socks..."Yer Tiz" is What a True Bristolian Would Exclaim!
- 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...
- Chuffed to Bits: Chuffed to Bits - This is another great British Slang Term. It means very pleased with or very happy about something and is very similar to another British Saying, "Pleased as Punch".
- Sod Off!: Sod Off! - Impolite - Get Knotted - Piss Off! - F_ _ _ Off! You will Find Out Very Quickly that Us Brits Have Loads of Synonyms for the Infamous Vernacular "Eff off".
- What Are You Like?: What Are You Like? - This recent British Saying is used when you see someone do something rather silly or outrageous. Similar to the rhetorical, "What are you doing?"
- Shrek in a Frock: Shrek in a Frock - Got this lovely British Slang term from one of our famous exports, Mr. Gordon Ramsay. Simply translated it means someone who is acting out of control and being loud and obnoxious - screaming and shouting.
- Cheesed Off: Cheesed Off - This Little Ditty Means Tired Or Bored With Something. It Can also Stretch to Feeling Annoyed.
- 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.
- Gobsmacked: Gobsmacked - At A Loss For Words. Just Absolutely Amazed
- Cheeky: Cheeky - Very naughty and a little bite rude but in a attractive and charismatic way.
- Up The Duff: Up the Duff - This is a British Euphemism for being pregnant or "preggers" as a Brit might also say. It can pertain to an unplanned pregnancy but in recent times it usually just means "preggers".
- 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.
- Red Rag to a Bull: Red Rag to a Bull - To purposely provoke someone into an adverse reaction. Say for example you "borrow" your sister's best frock and then flaunt it in front of her down your local on a Friday night. Now you'd be asking for it - that's like a "red rag to a bull" and certain to end quite nastily!
- Queen's English: Queen's English - Perfectly Proper English Language Pronunciation. Usually spoken by the Upper Crust of British Society.
- 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!
It’s easy. Just post a suggestion and we’ll put it on the site.
If in fact you don’t find the British Slang, Word or Expression that you are looking for, you may want to check out the books on the right side of the page in the sections entitled “British Slang and Sayings”, “British Sayings Slang Book” and “British Slang – Sayings – Words”.
Hello. Great site, I am not sure if it is a British thing or an elderly thing (maybe a collaboration of both?) but my Grandmother will say;
“BLOODY NORA!”
To display shock or surprise.
Also;
“Raining Cats and Dogs” surely that’s another British one. Anyway fantastic site, much enjoyed.
