My most beloved British slang is Knackered. Fucking knackered! It means very tired, exhausted. But those terms are sterlized of feeling, of life. You know that feeling after you finish moving? That total fucking exhaustion, you’re knackered my friend. I can’t think of a word that feels more accurate to the state of reality it describes. Knackered is a fucking gift.
Chuffed. If youre chuffed i believe that means your excited. I hate it but not for real good reasons. It sounds like a bad thing. Like i don’t want to be chuffed from the sound of it. It sounds like i chafed my lungs from sighing too much cuz I’m miserable.
Ok now for the linguistic crime known as snog or snogging. It means to make out or tongue kiss someone. But it sounds like a fucking sex act involving noses. And not a normal sex act. A fucking depraved dirty sex act, you’d feel shame even googling, but again it involves noses. And honestly it sounds like snot is likely involved with this sex act. Do better Britain stop saying fucking snogged you dirty bastards.
What is your most beloved and hated British slang?
U wot m8?
cockwomble, wankstain, pillock, cretin, prick, jobsworth, nutjob, absolute… (insert anything, e.g. biscuit, sausage). oh slang not insults? i think cheers is good it’s not too indulgent like thank you very much but it’s also a way to give some appreciation
Fucking knackered! It means very tired, exhausted. But those terms are sterlized of feeling, of life.
Are you sure that anima you ascribe to “knackered” isn’t coming from the adjective? “Fucking exhausted!” sounds, to my ear, just a full of feeling. Whereas, “I’m knackered” sounds just as lifeless as “I’m exhausted.” I wonder if you’re mis-attributing the vigor from “fucking,” which is, indeed, a potent word.
Your opinion is your own my friend. Knackered resonates with me, but if it don’t with you that cool
War-Chest-Hair Sauce … Werk-hamster-shire Sauce … Wash-your-sister Sauce … What’s-this-here Sauce … Wister-Sheer Sauce … … …
Yeah. Fucking nailed it!
There’s too many people mixing England and Great Britain up in here.
Innit
I like rhyming slang. Mostly for torturing my fellow Americans. I also enjoy clunge, jobbie, and being “sick to bastard death” about things.
The Australians have my heartstrings though, when it comes to inventive slang. They’re not here to fuck spiders, tell you that much for free.
“Gutted” gets every single time, but for the most unfunny and fucked up reason.
I was at a bar and a guy was describing how his pet got hit by a car and he found it kind of split down the belly, then he said “I was gutted”, describing his reaction. But his pet was also quite literally gutted. I didn’t laugh or anything but it was just such a dark thing to say it was almost funny.
Bloody, but just because when I had a period I would say things like “I’m on my bloody period!”
Damn I use bloody sometimes. It’s bloody good

British slang really depends on your region just because there are so many accents. Overall though, I’m quite a fan of plonker, pillock, (all)reet, mooch, and bog (as in shitter).
snogging
In French the slang term for that is “rouler des pelles” , which means literally “to roll shovels” and… I mean what the fuck is up with that?
Petit chou fleur is a term of endearment. It means cauliflower.
Never heard it used. Maybe it’s regional or a family tradition? A common idiom is “mon chou” but I’d guess it comes from the pastry and not the vegetable.
Wow. Is that sexy for them?
No it’s not even sexy, and it’s the only idiom I can think of that uses shovel in this context. It makes absolutely no sense
“Loads a money!”
More of a meme than slang, but I also like “dosh”.
I think you mean lods of emone?
i’m convinced that rhyming slang is just 19th century coal mine brainrot. you cannot change my mind
I believe rhyming slang was only in a small part of London, not many coal mines in London
It annoys me because you are forcing me to decipher what you’re telling me because you feel like being an annoying cunt.
Also adding “Innit” to the end of every sentence is the british version of “nowhatahmsain” for americans and “Aye” for Australians and just makes me think you are stupid.
Couldn’t’ve said it better
