Weird things other people (in other countries) say

"and Bob's your uncle"

I just figured out basically what that means, it still strikes me as kind of a bizarre phrase. Strange people, the English.

fwiw I don't really know if English people still say that but I was just watching a movie about 1930's England.

and, go.

I would also like to add to this basically everything Big H says.

In Korea they always say "piting" which is apparently the English word for fighting. They will say it before a football game or an interview. It's an extremely strange word to use and I don't know why they have adopted an English word for it. "Korea piting" makes no real sense to me, but I will let them say it. It's part of their culture and as long as I never say it I don't really care.

Until a few years back, I didn't know the word fag means cigarette for the English.

To be honest not a lot, you dont hear it a great deal.

Im not sure we even have an accent I think its how people sound when they are so slack they just blurt shit out with no accent at all just straight talking.

We dont say chuck another shrimp on the barbie either

Dont even call em shrimps out here they are prawns.

the movies and adverts portray us doing and saying stuff we just couldnt be fuked doing or saying I think our laziness is reflected in our approach to the English language.

Ah Fa fuks sake!

aww fair go.

whos this Cock head think he is?

< You all hear them a fair bit.

Fagot is a bunch of sticks like kindling.

You guys call an ass a fanny ! Fanny has always been the vagina out here.

We were like WTF when it was first being said on screen.


"Fetch to me a few fagots my good man, my fanny is freezing."

Say it aint so

I think its dying out a bit but in my home town there it seems used to be a completely different language in use. Mind would find itself inserted into sentances for no particular reason to add emphisis.

"Dont fuck with I mind" (I = me in Bristol/West country)

Cyllibals are dropped from lots of words, exstension lead becomes stension, remote becomes mote etc.

Strange words that would mean nothing to anyone else anywhere..

ass'nt - Havent you ( You spilt my pint ass'nt)
Cass'nt - Cant you (Deece cass'nt do that)
Bis'nt - I think this means aren't you (deece on the dole bis'nt)
Deece - You /you will (Deece get my fist - a favourite of my dad. Never followed through with it mind on account of me and my brothers all outgrowing him by the time we were about 10)

Im sure there are more but I dont know them. We also stick L's into and on the end of words for no apparent reason. Idea becomes Ideal, drawing becomes drawling, window somehow manages to become windle

Very odd.

Punter = Bookie

Mate = Dam, can not remember your name today, after being on the piss last night.

Bollocks = Does not mean Sandra and most guys have two.

Wanker = Any one who drives a Porsche.

Punter means customer, we are saddo's punters. I suppose it comes from gambling, someone willing to have a punt.
