Guest legion44 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I figured i jsut come out and ask... Can somebody define some of the slang words used in the UK to help me understand some responses on this forum? Ive seen terms like "brill" and "chuffed" but dont know what they mean:rolleyes: . Everyone pitch in and educate my US mind on the woderful world of UK slang. This could be fun for everyone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 TBH it would take you a lifetime to learn all the slang we use here. Also slang is very regional, and for a small country there is an awful lot of regional variation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
