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!
