what is this
Hey up me duck?
I’ve heard of no shit sherlock, that’s pretty universal in my opinion I’m from London (but not central London, gosh, that’d be scary), I just live in a nice, quiet town.

Yes, these all sound really Northern- I’m knackered, fancy a cuppa, I’m chuffed… never heard them used in real life before, but on Masterchef (last year’s is over and i’m soo sad waiting on edge for this year’s) I’ve heard a guy say, ‘Yeah, I’m absolutely chuffed’ and I’ve also heard, ‘this is bloody difficult’.
I’ve heard of I’m knackered, fancy a cuppa and I’m well chuffed before.
The British say bloody a lot as well.
I didn’t know that first phrase was British. I thought it was only used in Jamaica.
I’m guilty of this, I say it far too much - though it’s the only slang(ish) word I say. I live in quite a posh town so slang isn’t used very often.
Same!
To the person who said “Hey up me duck.” Sounds northern/southern; we are classed northern I think although most people call us “middlelands” to be fair though this term is used mainly in my area (stoke)
I also use quite a lot of what has been said
I’m knackered= I’m tired
I’m well chuffed= I’m happy
Sup= whats up
Manky= not nice
Sick= (can be used 3 way I’ll have to show you in sentence form)
“You Just sick!” Meaning unplesant
“Wow that’s sick” meaning thats cool
“I’m sick” I’m ill
There is just so many
Me too
And does anyone else say;
Breakfast, dinner (instead of lunch) and tea (as in evening meal) but still use the word tea to mean the drink tea as well?
I say this a lot too Though I never thought of it as slang!
I don’t think there are any slang words exclusive to where I live - Oxfordshire It’s mostly just “bloody” and “knackered” (I say “hell” a lot as well).
i love this thread lmaooo it makes me want to have a British character in my story
Well being English myself I definitely would. I’d love to see it regardless of that though.
Well, I have a British character in my story
Well, particularly Ron…
I believe it is originally Caribbean, but there are quite a lot of us in London, so it became nation-wide (or city-wide??) slang.
Oh. Thanks for the clarification
The biggest British debate.
Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner
I say breakfast, lunch and dinner/ tea
Man I remember the secondary school and college days haha. Always beef beef beef!
