SLANG THE WORLD OVER

Oh Hippie, 0h Tawny, oh my...

"Bush oysters!"??? We call 'em "boogers" down south in the U.S.; it's a sort of homonym for "buggers" which, as I understand, means to have anal sex with some creature of one's choosing (whether or not said creature consents)...I mean if it's your gay partner, you co-bugger happily together (ughhhh, but y'know, live and let live); if it's your sheep or goat, perhaps they might object, but...anyway, not something that involves one's nose. Or so I hope...

Has anyone heard of the word MILF (Mother I'd like to ****). Very crude I know but for anyone who has seen the movie American Pie you will know what I mean.

Christ there are so many that me brain has suddenly seized trying to think!!

Trainers that were not a 'named' or fashionable brand we called Borstal Breakouts, Tescos' tear-aways or Risley Runaways.

bifters =cigarettes or if smoking hash or weed i.e. "gizza toke on that big fat bifter!!"
strapped for cash = skint
button ya cake ole = shut your mouth
I've seen more meat on a sparrows kneecap = referring to someone skinny (as a rake)
the boogie bus = a police van
cushty = great

I'll post some more when the brain gets back into gear!!
A great diversionary thread sweetpea!!

Love and Happiness

Poofters? Poofs?

my bro-in-law's favorite slang term.

Skanky - bit like minging really, probably a bit old fashioned
Skanker - minger

Oh dear, all mine seem to be derogatory!

Except for 'Won't need much rocking tonight' - will sleep well

Thanks, Theresa

Yep - poofta is a gay guy. There are lots of other slang for that too but I fear I will have to leave that to others......!!

if someone is on tv all the time/overexposed, etc, we say "he get's where gas can't"!

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