Cindi, I also like "Lyin' like a rug!"

SweetPea and Lowercase, I agree that the post was "a stitch" (slang for "funny")...now, if someone chooses to get their "knickers in a twist," "panties in a wad," "work themselves into a lather," or otherwise make themselves uncomfortable, that is their "own little red wagon." Everyone likes a guilty snicker. I'm a blonde and I always get a kick out of a good Dumb Blonde joke. Even when I don't get them...

Yes Bessie,You have me thinking,being a Norfolk girl myself.

COQ=Came over Queer "I didn't feel too good"

NFN=Normal for Norfolk "Thats how we are/think in this part of the country"

One from my Irish background

You would make a dog bite its self= "You are driving me insane"!!

Just throw your toys out of the cot = "You're being silly"

Oh i love this one "If i don't see you through the week i will see you through the window"?

Ah Norfolk, hey do you have a badge which says I AM NOT A GROCKLE?

or if surfing down in Cornwall, I am not an Emmit. These are words for imports/tourists.

In your neck of the woods - in your part of the world

Just wanted to show off because I have just found how to put a signature on my posts :whee:

I am not the brightest star in the sky as it has taken me to taken so long = not that clever!!!

I am not that quick on the uptake = slow to Cotton on = slow to understand :bigwink:

"Southern Jessies" and "might" (in the sense of strength) are words that NEVER appear in the same sentence.

As for me being a "heid the ba'"

All Scots are total Bammers! (or - at least that is the impression we like to give to the Southern Jessies )

Ass over elbows - to fall

One sandwich short of a picnic - not all there

Calling Ralph on the big white telephone - to vomit

That's all I have for now, maybe after some coffee I'll think of some more.

Thought of this one while I was away

Two peas in a pod = Twins, identical or the same

SLANG THE WORLD OVER

Here's my 2 cents ; )


cut a rug=dancing

sick=great

shagging=having sex (a lot of Americans still don't know this)

stepped in it=made a mistake

shit the bed=made a mistake

two french fries short of a picnic=not intelligent

tang=girly bits (not just an energy drink for astronauts!!!) it's short for putang


One can always check out Urban Dictionary: Define Your World if they are stumped by an expression. It's especially helpful if you can't figure out what your teenagers are talking about, LOL!


Great Thread : )

I remembered this thread .. BUMP!! I love slang! I was just trying to figure out, why do we Americans call the front part of our hair "bangs"??? I know in Britain it's a "fringe" and that actually makes sense. I knew an American who went into a salon in London and asked for a "bang trim":H:H
