1. Chippy
The “chippy” is the local fish and chip shop.
2. Blimey
The word “blimey” is an exclamation used when you’re commenting on something remarkable, such as “Blimey, that’s a big onion.” It has associations with Cockney – an East London dialect – but it’s widely used beyond the capital.
3. Ace
As well as being the highest card in a suit in a pack of cards, or a move in tennis in which a player scores a point in one move, “ace” is another word for “excellent”. To this end, someone who is particularly good at something is referred to as an “ace” – such as a “computer ace” or a “flying ace”.
4. Veg
“Veg” is slang for “vegetables”, and you may often see this word on menus, particularly at country pubs (“roast veg”, “garden veg” and so on). On a similar theme, we Brits have several words for “potatoes”, the most prevalent of which is “spuds”; others include “tatties” (which is Scottish in origin), “jackets” (potatoes baked with their skins still on) and “roasties” (roast potatoes).
5. Sarnie and more food-related slang words
6. Cuppa
The Brits are so famous for their love of tea that it’s not surprising that there are a few alternative ways of describing it. One of them is “a brew” (as in “Anyone fancy a brew?”), and another is “a cuppa”. The phrase “builder’s tea” is often used to describe strong, sweet tea with milk, usually served in a big mug. A “cream tea” refers to scones served with jam and clotted cream as well as a cup of tea.
7. Miffed
When you’re “miffed”, you’re a bit annoyed or put out about something. You might say, for example, “I’m so miffed that nobody let me know.”
8. Kip
A “kip” is a short sleep, usually referring to one taken during the day for a brief rest, and also known as a “nap”. It’s a similar sort of thing to the “siesta” of the Mediterranean, only you can have a kip or a nap at any time of day.
9. Local rag
This is a marginally disparaging phrase for your town’s local newspaper. The word “rag” technically refers to a scrap of old cloth, often a dirty one, and these connotations of worthlessness are carried across to express the generally poor quality of stories typically covered in local newspapers.
10. See ya
The expression “see ya” (literally “see you” – in turn, a shortening of the expression “I’ll be seeing you”) is often used as an alternative to “bye”.
11. Taking the mickey
When you’re “taking the mickey” or “taking the mick” out of someone, it means you’re taking liberties with them at their expense, or teasing them. This expression can be used sarcastically; if, for example, someone was expecting you to do something unreasonable, or go to extraordinary lengths to do something for them, you might say that they were “taking the mick”.
12. Arm and a leg
If something “costs an arm and a leg”, it means it’s extremely expensive. A popular but untrue story to explain this expression comes from the days when people used to have their portraits painted, and artists charged more depending on how much of the person was to be depicted; the cheapest was head and shoulders, and it would get progressively more expensive up to “legs and all”.
13. Shattered
In English, we have various slang words meaning “extremely tired” or “tired to the point of exhaustion”. One of the most common is “shattered” (which, technically speaking, refers to something breaking into lots of tiny pieces, such as shattered glass). Another one is “knackered”, and another is “done in”, as in “I’m so done in from that run earlier.”
14. Stuffed
This means to be full of food to the point at which you can eat no more. As in, “I don’t think I can manage dessert, I’m stuffed.” Another similar expression is “fit to burst”, which means the same thing.
