bonsaiisuperstar Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Ok, since most of you are British, perhaps we can help each other out with slang. Help me out here as I don't want to call you a bloke and find out it means A**hole or something along those lines Also, I love the way you all pronouce things like water and records haha Bloke = ? Git = ? Knackered = ? under the weather, tired?? Pissed = drunk (Me thinks) Sod = ? Any U.S. slang words you want me to translate for ya?
Jony Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 bloke = guy = man git= tosser knackard=shattered=very tired pissed=drunk or can mean angry sod= hmmm hard one, it mean sod, like you cheeky sod, or you ignorant sod person i guess?
PHOENIX Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 git I see as someone that goes out of there way to do something iritating.
DaveNotSoSideways Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 I always remembered when I was in the US, not to ask some butch guy on the street for a FAG. Fag = Cigarette here btw *edited sensor words, caught by my own auto-censor!*
PHOENIX Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 my favorit is fanny. female genitalia here. bum/arse there. hearing a song saying "hake you wammy fanny" sounds so wrong
bonsaiisuperstar Posted February 14, 2008 Author Posted February 14, 2008 Yeah, I knew the cigarette term. (much dirtier word here). I always saw the Sex Pistols calling people Dirty Sod's and had a general idea of what it meant. I was called a silly Git once......and only now know what she meant haha (I think I was trying to take her home with me) I suppose you understand all of our slang eh? Excellent!
GT6Steve Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 My lovely bride will never forget asking her male coworker for a rubber after a slight clerical error. In the US that's slang for a condom and left him rather confused... Another typical crossup is the fries-chips-crisps escapade the first time in a Yank restaurant.
GT6Steve Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Hey Jony, does Mike know what a tosser is? What kind of wanker defines a slang term with another slang term? ;D
DaveNotSoSideways Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Ketchup/Sauce can get confusing! We get ALOT of US TV here, pretty well versed...
Jony Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Hey Jony, does Mike know what a tosser is? What kind of wanker defines a slang term with another slang term? ;D o why thank you, dont know if wanker means anything different over there, but it means 'oh gracious god' over here ;D i did think about that actualy, but couldnt think of a non slang word to describe it
GT6Steve Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 o why thank you, dont know if wanker means anything different over there, but it means 'oh gracious god' over here ;D i did think about that actualy, but couldnt think of a non slang word to describe it Neither wanker or tosser get used much over here, outside of Brit car circles. I suppose the closest I can think of is calling them a jackoff or jerkoff. We've got lots of Dipshits though...
bonsaiisuperstar Posted February 14, 2008 Author Posted February 14, 2008 Hey Jony, does Mike know what a tosser is? What kind of wanker defines a slang term with another slang term? ;D I was thinking the same thing. A tosser here is a very dirty word lol
bonsaiisuperstar Posted February 14, 2008 Author Posted February 14, 2008 Ok, yah tosser pretty much means the same thing then. (jerkoff, masterbator etc etc) trying to keep it clean Dave :-/
Jony Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 well if we just wen off US TV, then all you say is OH MY GOD! and screem alot..........;D
GT6Steve Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Dave, do you suppose McJim could drop in and help us with any Scottish slang?
DaveNotSoSideways Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 I'll kick your jacksie Jony! or your Jackson Pollocks... Stick you in your jammies and ya going to bed whether you're banjacked or not, no bashing the bishop!!!
DaveNotSoSideways Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Dave, do you suppose McJim could drop in and help us with any Scottish slang? Sure, shame we had Mattius for that, but he is under the kosh atm, not beevied up as usual?
bonsaiisuperstar Posted February 14, 2008 Author Posted February 14, 2008 Oh, I have another. What does Bollocks mean? Like bullcrap??
Jony Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 bollocks=balls=crap=rubbish ye i reckon bullcrap is about right
DaveNotSoSideways Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Two round things between your legs, or a load of rubbish/junk.. My bollocks ache, thats a load of bollocks.
Jony Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 muppet=idiot you know what idiot means? EDIT means stupid also same for pillock
knackerjack Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 You say president, we say tosser. We say prime minister, you say jerkoff. You say fender we say bumper. You say hood we say bonnet. You say elevator we say lift. You say gasolene we say petrol. You say perambulater we say pram. We say homosexual you say fag.
