Let’s slang!

Conchita · Tue Dec 05, 2006 1:07 am *Let’s slang!*

Ay-up everyone!

What do you say we share a bit of slang? One of my currently favoured phrases is ‘bingo wings’. You might not find it amusing, but I do! If you have the wobbly, flabby, fatty bits under your arms, you might as well ‘keep your hair on’ and take it philosophically. It’s always better than a ‘slap in the face with a wet kipper’, or is it? Confused

. ‘Anyroad’, as I was saying, ‘keep your pecker up’ – you don’t want to be a ‘moaning Minnie’ now, do you?

I find these quite funny, too:

Can I have a word in your shell-like (ear)?
Almond rocks = socks
Black over Bill’s mothers = It looks as if it’s going to rain
Dustbin lids = kids (wait till I tell that to mine!), also: tin/teapot/saucepan lids or God Forbids.
Moo juice = milk

Crikey, I’ve gotta 'chip' (leave) – I’m 'Cream Crackered' (knackered/tired).

Abyssinia (I’ll be seeing you)!

Leaving Alan's post aside for the moment, of the slang that's been posted here, the only one I'd ever heard before was "moo juice". Shocked

Quite a bit of Alan's post was "foreign" to me, too. However, I did understand 'kinda' and 'noodle'. Laughing

Here are a few from th US side of the pond:

S'up? = What's up?
Jeet? = Did you eat yet?
Snail mail = what the mailman delivers to your house
La-la land = an unreal place or fantasy world
Knuckle sandwich = a punch in the mouth
Brewski = beer
Wooder = water (Philadelphia area slang)

Well, don't know many English slangs . But I think they are too funny. Hi, Tom, why do you call the police as "pigs", it sounds too........ehehehe. To us non-English speakers , I think, we should avoid making uneccessary troubles when we "slang",right? Smile

aereal · Wed Dec 06, 2006 11:22 am *Let’s slang!*

ahoy there, got some green cash to exchange for bread over here. Hope some bank is left for brewski, unless the dope pigs take away that dough... ok, dude, you get a bunch of hot sugar chicks all in ice, while i come in with 'za... sounds like piece of cake, eh? see ya in the evening, then, homie!

makes any sense?

Hi Conchita!

No slangy English but a pretty nice expression in French came to my mind. You probably know it:

petit chou/petit chou fleur de bretagn? Smile

Whereat the second one might be used carefully as it sounds like it would be an exaggeration, doesn?t it?
