If you’re interested in knowing more British Slang, check out these two posts that I’ve written: Part One and Part Two. Having said that, “dosh” is not that common. Most of the words in this group are regularly used. It’s always so difficult to get them to stop. There is always one person who loves to waffle on in business meetings. “Tim loves to splash out when he is trying to impress Jane”. Zonked can be used although ‘knackered’ is more common. If you’re knackered you are extremely tired. “You will feel so much better once you’ve had a good kip.” Knackered/Zonked Yes, this word is used to mean a nap (short sleep). “He was really gutted he missed his uncle’s funeral” When someone say they are ‘gutted’ it means that they are disappointed or upset.

#FANCY A CUPPA MEANING TV#
There are many British TV programmes and films where these words are used. May I also add that you don’t have to visit London the hear these terms. I’ve picked the ones that you’re likely to hear. This infographic by Visually compares British and American words, and whilst the comparisons are accurate, I’d like to point out some discrepancies in usage and also to show you in what context you may hear some of them. Remember though, that most of them are used in spoken English rather than in written form. You will hear many of the slang terms as they are widely used. As for the insults, I hope you don’t hear them, but I’m afraid you may just be within earshot of an angry person or irate motorist, in which case you will hear some of them. You may hear them or see them written on signs in restaurants, cafes, shops or out and about. We’re coming to the time of year when many people will be visiting London as part of their holidays or English Language courses.įor those of you who plan to visit this wonderful city, you will inevitably come across a lot of the expressions highlighted below. I saw this entertaining infographic the other day and shared it on Facebook.
