We've spoken about Britain...... Now lets talk British Slang

A thread about Britain was posted recently and i started to wonder how many people here know any British slang .

Just like accents you don't have to travel very far for the slang to change drastically in the Uk .

For example , in my hometown if someone asks you if you would like a "Spoggy" they are asking you if you would like a piece of chewing gum . If you travel 30 minutes north then people have not heard of this word(at least in my experience when i was there) . If you travel 30 minutes southwest of my town then the word "Spoggy" is used as slang for giving someone a ride on the back of your pushbike.

So people if Italki ,Lets hear your UK slang .

"As happy as a sandboy" is an adorable phrase I've come across. Has anyone else heard it?

I heard of "Bob's your uncle" a few years ago and it always makes me laugh ;)

I think it means something like "and everything will be ok", or "here you go". I know the story behind it, still I find it very funny :D

Well I'm from Wales so to address a friend I'd say "Alright butt, alright" but actually in my hometown we'd say "Alright mush". Also daps are shoes, pop is a fizzy drink, chopsing is arguing, buzzing is something bad or unpleasant and tamping is being very angry. Of course there are loads more!
