Welcome to my quick and raw UK slang vocab lesson. I always think to myself that I should have been born in the United Kingdom and I’m not sure exactly why. Maybe it is because I really dig the lingo and humor that comes from this island. I have added some of the slang I learned so far (below) and I’m waiting for any of my UK cronies that read this to correct me if any descriptions I give are wrong. Very cool words that I wish I could use in every day conversation here in the USA. But every time I try to fit these words into a conversation, people look at me like I’m a jackball. Oh well.
- UK Word: “Bloke” Meaning: Man
- UK Word:“Quid” Meaning: Currency (slang for pound) Like saying “bucks” in place of “dollars”
- UK Word “Geezer” Meaning: Masculine Individual or Tough Guy
- UK Word: “Innit” Meaning: Isn’t It?
- UK Word: “Mincer” Meaning: Slacker
- UK Word: “Bullocks” Meaning: LOOK IT UP (It’s a funny one)
