British Speak

In the interest of making myself better understood, as I know several of you don't understand some of my British terms, I have embarked on a project with a fellow blogger.
When I say embarked, he badgered me until I relented. He is an American seeking to understand us British folks that much better. So much so his entire blog is dedicated to this sole purpose.
So how could I possibly help? Its easy to find out what specific words mean by using the good old google search engines, but can you be sure that you are using them in the right context? Thats where I come in.

So click on my face and see how I put some of the words into action, they maybe slightly rude, but I didn't pick them.

Toodle pip!

  2. Well, a lot of British slag is used in Canada too so I'm familiar with some of it ... plus I'm addicted to Coronation Street ... so I know about butties and snogging.

  5. @ offendedblogger I am 100% good, well minus that 68% evil.

    @Drowsey hahaha, hang on are you calling me a slag! or was that an unfortunate typo? Hooray for coronation they have just finshed filming some scenes in my town for the show. I love butties and snogging, not at the same time.

    @.45 I am not quite sure what turning out means, so I must be good and no laughing at others typos thats my job.

    @Jillian hehehe and I use it sensibly don't I :)

  6. Thank you for doubling my traffic while I slept. I always knew you were ever-so-cool but now I'm in awe. Your fans await your appearance to answer some comments there, by the way.

    You don't know what being turned out means? If Max hadn't recently washed out his doggie-breath mouth, he'd tell you. Maybe Yummy still will.

    Thanks again for the delightful post, and also for the, ummmm.......well, YOU know. Wink wink, nudge nudge. You are sooooooo good at that!

  15. I would never turn you out on the street, though I have pimped you online.

    I couldn't resist that typo. It was too funny given the context.

    ReplyDelete
  16. @.45 have you passed cyber me around? how rude! I didn't even notice :(

    It was a very funny typo :)

    ReplyDelete
  17. Yes. I said you like to play hide the Willy, which probably isn't as bad as Qelqoth sending SU braodcasts to come to me for herpes. It's in remission!

    ReplyDelete
  18. @.45 haha! yes you were rather nice as I do smell like sugar cookies (except after hiking) and I am glad its in remission, naughty Mr Qelqoth.

  21. Snogging could mean several things, from a kiss to THE DEED and anything in between, so how good a girl are you Claire...hmm.

    would it be appropriot to say (you cheeky bird) here ? :-)

    ReplyDelete
  22. I don't care how ya talk Claire, your awesome how ever you speak! ;D

  23. I love the pic. Pic of the day and quote of the day. It's a good night after all.

    ReplyDelete
  24. @ trukindog, snogging does not mean the DEED! hmmph!
    It means kissing someone passionately maybe even with tongues :)

    I am very good but a right cheeky bird.

    @Roger, you can come again ;)

    @soupnumber5, you can come again also! I hope the picture induced you to click on it? :)

  27. Claire, if I may be so bold. relaxmax is trying to start something. I also found little shit prints all over my blog. He really is a weird friend of yours. I bloody would not tell him anymore slag, uh I mean slang. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  28. @ettarose please dont blame me for relaxmax, he sort of grows on you like fungus :)

    lol

  29. Hilarious- doubled his traffic indeed. You should figure out a way to do an mp3- that slang with a proper British accent... you'd have the makings of a pay-per-view...

    ReplyDelete
  30. @pit, I already do know how to do it, but would I? hmmmmmmmmm.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Thanks for the link Claire.

    *checks shorts

    Nope my bollocks are still there... which is a GOOD thing, and exactly what I meant when I commented, "Bollocks!"

    =P

    p.s. TITS! =)

    ReplyDelete
  32. @static a pleasure to share the linkage with you.

    TITS? now does that mean you have them as well as bollocks?

    :)

    ReplyDelete
  33. Why yes, yes it does. How did you know? It's as if you're inside my own head!

    In fact, with a heavy make-up, I am about the cutest vamp you've seen in donkey's years. Or is that a donkey's arse... I forget. (Yes, I do believe I possess bollocks, tits AND a donkey's arse).

    Hey, looks like you've taught me well in the arena of british speak so far, eh?

  34. @static the British language is very very dangerous in your hands.

    ReplyDelete
  35. @static I dread to think what you will make of my next British Speak post.
