SLANG THE WORLD OVER

knee-trembler: usually refers to a brief encounter in the upright position

And here's on from my neck of the woods: "Mate, I'm wasted, lets get a scousers laptop." which is an expression for a take-away Pizza eaten out of the box while sitting down.

this is a really obscure saying. Proper northern! I'm a northern lass!

You're not a "Southern Jessy" then trix!! (another slang term in the UK for people who live roughly south of Birmingham)

R U a Yorkshire Lass then or a Lancashire Lass trix?

Hippie

I'm a loud and proud lancashire lass - falling through me pinny pockets, ready to eat a scabby dog and loving MWO. Never laughed so much for ages!

Actually met someone tonight in chat whose parents come from my home town - freaky! I'm being stalked.... LOL

By the way - your Vicky Pollard thread died on it's arse (oh that's another slang! Died on it's arse means noone understood the joke!) LOL. Only joking mate. Luv your humour. Been lurking for ages, you are a breath of fresh air.

SLANG THE WORLD OVER

I love slang and there is no doubt the UK, Ireland, and Australia have way better than the U.S.
as is apropo, here are a few U.S. words for being "pissed up"
-shit-faced
blasted
tanked
loaded
plowed
snockered
tight (this was from my mom's day)
f--ed up may be the most prevalent
One I remember from the early 80s: people would say "I'm really gonna 'give 'er' tonight!" This may have been regional .. drunken Wisconsin people. When I was growing up, drunk driving was considered about as serious as, well, maybe a speeding ticket.

Dexter - This is interesting because in Oz "pissed up" means 'wasted' as in "His paycheck , well he just pissed it up against the wall".

We have heaps for "drunk" including

fly-blown
maggoted
legless
tired-and-emotional

:wow:

Never thought the thread would take off to this extent = be popular

I thought it might bomb with no replies = not have any responses / not do well
Or go down like a lead balloon = not be popular or wanted
Well I am not off my face at the moment = drunk
But I am still having a blast = good time

See you later alligator = soon

Your response should be In a while crocodile = yes soon

c: Keep them rolling = keep them coming

So we can all have a good :H :H

"She got some junk in her trunk"---has a big fat rear end. This one supplied by my housekeeper, whose trunk is rather rich in junk itself. Other euphemisms for generous bottoms: "Pullin' a trailer;" "Totin' a load."

SLANG THE WORLD OVER

I work part time for the local school district delivering food to 6 elementary schools. The food is cooked in a central kitchen and is then loaded onto a truck for me to deliver. The staff at the kitchen consists of 11 women and me. Everyday when my truck is loaded and I'm about to go on my delivery, I'll say as I'm headed out the door, " Well, I'm off like a prom dress..."

The women just love it and laugh everyday...
