57 is wrong. Sacked = getting fired. Made redundant = usually given a pay packet to leave the company
admiralbenson
This list is bollocks
StainMyLight
Nicked also means to get arrested. Like oh yeah fucking bob got nicked last night.
CK1974
Bob got banged up...what for now?
HungryLikeTheWookie
Tosser actually means wanker
rezpawner
Nah, when explaining it to foreigners, it's always "someone who throws something". That way you can get away with calling them tossers.
segat1
This list is gash. What plonker wrote it? What a ball ache
GavinScreaming
Plastered is British? I've heard that my entire life in the US

65: strawberry creams =breasts! Never heard that. Bristol cities or Bristols = means titties

Bugger - anal sex, can also be used in the same way damn is. Bugger off - fuck off

51 and 83 are both Shambles.

what a fuckin' shambles.

This list looks like it was made by elijah wood after "green street"... Fucking badly
Astarico
I'm alarmed that foreigners (non-Brits) might use this fallacious phrasebook and make a tit of themselves in front of the lads.
whydoineedausername6969
Don't be alarmed. It would be funny to watch.
Fair point!

Smeg... from red dwarf... thats its source. Smeg is short for smegma... which is... you dont want to know.
gggddhjhh
I don't think they got smeg from smegma, pretty sure it's just a made up word like goit
lacuaba
Goit is a word, it's very similar in meaning to git and they seem to use the two interchangeably in the show
Nah, they made up goit too. Google it and the only results are red dwarf

mattsall
Bloody does not mean Damn....
calledwylch
It does in American contexts. E.g. "you bloody idiot" = "you damn moron".
But you can't use it on it's own, therefore, not the same. The equivalent would be "fucking" I suppose
Lulabel73
But this is a guide to British slang.
For Americans. Jesus wept...
Then they are going to get themselves into trouble using this. I would go round calling people a wanker thinking it means idiot.

Bugger != jerk.

Who wrote this trash?
Vonya
Some tosser that doesn't know his arse from his elbow and thinks this list is the dogs bollocks when it's clearly a shite stain to our slang
MrPredator
Soo... what's the difference between a wanker and a tosser?
Toss is slang for wank which is slang for male masturbation. They ate the same thing just different in terms of how you use it.
LookingCaliforniaFeelingMinnesota
Same thing really. But wanker is a stronger term.
Prestigeww2004
Um, I don't need this. I've watched all 3 Austin Powers.

54. Dogs dinner does not mean dressed nicely, it means you look a mess...
Haelix
Yeah if it did, someone needs to let Gordon Ramsey know... or I've been watching his show all wrong.
believethelie
Might have gotten confused with dogs bollocks maybe?
DemonicGothBinx
very likely

Never heard a "dogs breakfast" used
unicornfield
Dogs breakfast means something is a mess where im from (nz)
Timpani
All done up like a dogs dinner = nicely dressed to go out (source: I am very British)
didntthinkofthat
From a part of uk where they nicely present their canine friends food?
It is a weird turn of phrase and implies that you are OVERdressed. Dogs breakfast on the other hand means an unholy mess.
Dogs dinner or breakfast both mean a mess. Dogs bollocks on the other hand means great. I'm from the UK too.
So bloody wrong ...65 is the most wrong...thrupenny bits...tits end of..,
imaelsparko
59 Depends on the area of the UK. In Newcastle 'Gannin ta see a man about a dog' means you're off to a bar, traditionally for a Newkie Brown
Manwellus
A wanker is a wanker, not an idiot mate
TheRicM
That is a fit arse
DRFUZY
Pretty sure Wanker is a term for masterbator
Rosham
To wank does mean to masturbate, but wanker is used as an insult
I hath been enlightened. +1
LadyBumps
You forgot "Mardy" meaning being in a mood. Plus always remember, positive statements like "Brilliant" and "Great" often mean the opposite.
madmanmoe64
that's just sarcasm, I don't think we can entirely claim that.
I'm in the East Midlands and mardy is well known here.
Where in the North? Just curious because I live in Newcastle and I've never heard of 'Mardy'
CarpeDizzle
Yorkshire, never heard it myself in Newcastle until I had uni mates from Yorlshire
Makes sense does sound like a Yorkshire type of word
JETHROPOWA
This list was definitely not made by British people. A few of these are very wrong
aleister94
And he left out how they say "orientated" instead of oriented
Ponce is more Stralian than Brit. It used to be a negative word for gay.

PolarHailStorm
Indeed. A ponce is not a poser, a ponce is someone who takes but never gives back. Money, cigarettes, etc.
ChickenSun
Yeah I'm English and ponce means poser to me.
YouHaveJustBegunReadingTheUsernameYouHaveJustFinishedReading
Can be both mate
I've never heard it used in the poser sense, only the scav sense.
I only recently heard it in the scav sense, the other way i think is more an old thing and plus actually mostly means like camp too
Maybe it did. The only homosexual words relating to that I remember early on were poof/poofter though. Mincing came later.
thornmallow
so, a mooch in American.
Yeah, that's the nail on the head.
I'm agreed with the other chap. Ponce has always meant poser as far as I know. I've never heard your version before. Might just be local
To your area. The version we use I've heard often in and around the country, and on telly many times.
That's a curiosity. I assume you use scav/scavenger instead of ponce for that meaning, then? And our 'nonce' definition is the same?
I'd call someone, such as you described, as a leech; a person that feeds off've others.
JeepersMedia
What's a Chav? I see that a lot in comments on Imgur.
SevenHouses
Its actually an old term for a new born. The phrase would be to "wet the chavvies head". Aka, to have a beer and celebrate the new life.
"Council House, Abusive and Violent" I believe is where the term comes from.

White trash
Yes, everything said here leads directly to the American version, White Trash.
Most apt description would be British gopnik I guess, drinks and smokes a lot, has few teeth mostly and hangs around the job centre
