Alex, overall not a bad attempt at all to decipher the minefield of British English slang! Daft - something ridiculous or to make a stupid suggestion. "Shall we go to the cinema tonight? Don't be daft it's far too late to go now." Pissed = drunk, you're spot on there! Wobbler= "to throw a wobbler", ie to throw a tantrum. I don't think it has any cricket connotations, though I'm not a fan of cricket. Shifty = shady or suspicious. Well done spot on there too! Kip = short sleep. "I'm gonna grab some kip now." Kipper would be the fish related word. Hope that makes some sense!

nah..."daft" might be "funny", "humorous", but only when talking about a person. "That guy's really daft and good at telling jokes."

Daft - sharp, astute, sharp (as in quick and intelligent) ??? pissed - drunk (not "mad" or "angry" as it is here) (USA) ??? wobbler - it might be a cricket term, perhaps somewhat analogous to a line-drive. shifty - "shady" i.e. suspicious or seemingly untrustworthy ??? kip - is it a monetary amount? Or *maybe* fish (as in food)??? grub - I don't know, but here it can mean "food". It is also possible that "daft" means "fashionable" or "sharp", as in well-dressed. As you see, "sharp" can have different meanings here. I did not do any research, and I've never seen any of those films. I have previously in the past researched the rules to Cricket though.
