Welcome back to L.E.W.L.& S., Leila! Je ne te raconte pas comment ça m'a mis la banane de te revoir! obviously I'm speaking about 'smile' here, don't get me wrong ;-) ( j'ai la banane = je souris/je suis content 😊🍌) I'm positively and utterly impressed by your amazing performance here. There are a bunch of them I already knew but also many I discovered! Going through the entire alphabet with fabulous slang expressions, all in just hardly 25 minutes, wow! This was perhaps a bit at the expense of the flow, which might be considered a bit fast and impressive for beginners, but still natural and desirable to listen to for the more advanced among us; I personally enjoyed and appreciated a lot! It makes me want to make a text using all of them or maybe, as you suggested, create one with my own British slang list 🙂 So I'll probably be back for some more ... Thank you so much Leila! Great to have you back with us in the pleasant and peaceful intimacy of your kitchen and with a cuppa; That was a fantastic, brilliant journey with all this amazing 'slang'; a lot of precision, clarity, natural, and the all thing sprinkled with a lot of humour, I loved it! Merci Leila!, bravo! 👏 bisous bisous! 🙏🥰🌹💗

You are back with a wonderful lesson! Great content, good pace, everything explained well enough but without too many details to pack all the 59 words in less than 25 minutes. Just perfect. And even a bonus small game: find the typo's ;-) I found 2 of them: -My husband is a _dad_ hand -Mum said she _should_ go

[@frfancha]

I also love when you say "You should know that one by now" with the appropriate body language, making us feeling as if it was a personal lesson. Making us wanting to learn more. Very well done.

[@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah]

Oh no! Oops! Think I need to employ you as my proofreader! 🙏😳😂

[@frfancha]

@@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah That would be with great pleasure ;-) But that would be a non native proofreading (which might in some cases be better, a native has sometimes a tendency to read too fast and unintentionally skip typo's by unconsciously auto-correcting them)

Thank you soooo much for all of these quite essential idiomatic slang expressions...much appreciated. I am a pensioner from a Turkish background and I still lack a lot of vocabulary...And your diction is amazing too.!!

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

As a native Briton, I've never heard of "Brassic". When I researched it (On Wikipedia), I learned it's cockney rhyming slang and derives from "Boracic lint" meaning "Skint". I doubt whether anyone outside of London would have heard of this.

[@LoveEnglishwithLeilaSabrah]

I’ve heard it used a lot. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@fabrice9252]

~~~~~~ November ~~~~~~ Bare maples shiver; Of wilted yellow scraps, Each path is covered; cluttered, each threshold The gust through branches has some sighs and cries Plaintive as the knell that sobs in the shadows. Large and sombre clouds blur the horizon; The sun barely throws glances to the earth; Withered bistre leaves roll over the lawn And the swollen stream, like thunder, rumbles Farewell serene eve! Farewell clear morning! Farewell, the fresh shade! Farewell, mad runnings! Goodbye, birds' voices that would cross the wind! Farewell to chirpings of the bushes and springs! No more glad reapers gathered in wheat fields! No more dreamy lovers sat under the arbors! No more night concert beneath the starry vault! In meadows and woods, no more scents, no more wings! Deafening noises grow under the great woods Restless and twisted like a dark swell of storm The construction men are gone for two months whole, And the great pine, rough, under the axes falls. A sepulchral breath passes on the valleys, Over hillsides, ponds and forests and stubbles; And sometimes, at night, we suddenly tremble Thinking we see pass a white ghost wandering. Under dying suns all is cold, dark, bitter, All flees in weeping air, on the wave which steams; And the last guyed sails, seeing dawn of winter, Leave our icy ports and plunge into the mist. No winged bard remains in the numbed pasture; And, at eve, on skies, which a vague ray flashes, One sees profiling, towards the South turned, The triangular flight of migratory geese. At home, all are dull, everyone is alone. The pallid sky aspect has grieved and saddened Coming soon the snow its shroud will unfold As onto a corpse, on the tree overturned It's the month of pain, of regrets, of goodbyes. The hearts feel the cold of marble gravities; And grey mourning crowds, with tears in their eyes, Will bow 'fore crosses of the cemeteries. But sometimes the sun, shattering the haze, Pours golden glimmers on thatches and waters And we believe we hear the chattering birds, We breathe everywhere savage aromas. Nude trees seem to us be dressed again in green: The lukewarmed wind plays with their supple branches; In the vale's hollow, whole covered with leaves, It seems we still see joyful couples roaming. As the season of blooms and loves and chipmunks My youthful dreams have vanished, faded away A cloud suddenly has passed over my days, Robbed me of a sun that used to make me drunk. However sometimes throughout my black sky A radiant glint slides on my gloomy brow... Then in the bright past, I believe I perceive Of my fled delights, floating, the pink image. And then 'fore my eyes radiates 'l'avenir'; And hope is reborn in my delighted mind... And the ray that shines for a while on my life, It's the one that the heart calls: 'le souvenir'. F.D. November 14 th, 2022. To Sabrah and Leila. Winner of 🥇on A.P. 🥰🌹💗 Did you like it? Tell me in the comment below. Don't hesitate for any suggestions or corrections, t.y. :-)

We use dim here,as dumb I use effing all the time. Fluke means the same here in the US. Gutted is being used more lately here Half assed the same here. Hunky dory the same here In the buff same here. Peckish I’ve heard it more often now. Piss off or to be pissed off. Same here in the US. Tight,tight wad,or tight ass here too. I use twit a lot here! Are you up for,and to veg out….the same. Whoops same here. To get all wound up,or upset. Zonked out,really tired here too. Zoned out here too!

Hi Knv attitude! The one who says this, in fact, expresses that she/he might have seen the thing (whatever it is) coming onto the person she's talking to. 'or then I would have seen this (thing) coming on you' would maybe be another way to say it. That's what it means; hope that helps. Greetings. :-)
