Wow! It’s been nearly a year since I moved to the UK from Canada. It has had its fair share of ups and downs but I feel comfortable here and I’ve even got a grasp on the slang. Let me share a few with you.
- slag: slut
- chav: guy who wears sporty clothes and is a bit rough around the edges
- pikey: ‘trailer trash’
- bugger: jerk
- git: someone with sub-par behaviour
- cheeky git: lippy / rude person with sub-par behaviour
- tosser: implies that the person masturbates excessively
- wanker: implies that the person masturbates excessively
- twit: someone who’s really dumb
- nutter: someone who’s a few crayons short of a full box
- ponce: someone who thinks they are overly smart / stylish (and aren’t)
- todger: if you call someone this, you’re literally calling them a penis
There are many others, I’m sure, but this should get you started!
