As I am obsessed...

As I am obsessed with England I figured I might as well write about it. So because of my obsession I like to use British-english words sometimes, so I have made a list of some of the more common and funny British words to share with you, just because...well...because.  ; )

Brillopads: is a type of wire scrubbing brush, but it is used as the word "amazing" is used here; "it was brillopads" does not mean you am saying "It was a sort of wire pad that you clean with" you mean "It was fab and groovy"

Bugger(ation): A swear word, but not a real swear word, it is like the word "dang"; "Oh bugger!"

Chuddering: Quite simply whining.

Gadzooks: Like saying "Oh my God".

GBH: "Grievous Bodily Harm".

Gob: Short for "mouth".

Goosegog: A very curious, but unwanted (or needed) onlooker.

On my Jacksie: It means "on my own".

Jimjams: Pajamas. Also pygmies or jammies.

Knickers: Underwear.

Nub: The gist of whatever you are talking about, the heart of the matter.

Nuddy pants: Nude pants, like being naked. Means to be naked.

Rucky: Short for rucksack, a rucksack is a backpack, so therefore a "rucky" is a backpack.

Titches: A titch is a small person. Titches is the plural of titch.

Tosser: A special kind of prat. The other way of putting this is "wanker" or "monkey spanker".

Strop: To sulk visably.

Sorted: To fix a problem, is to "sort" it.

Smashing: Smashing = terrific.

Shirty: Getting bad tempered.

Pants: Pants is another way to say "total crap" except you would say "total pants" as in "that show last night was total pants".

Yup so... I had fun making this list. I'm pretty sure my favorite word on this list is "pants", don't ask me why because I do not know... haha.
