🚨 English words they DON'T teach you! - British Slang 🇬🇧
In this lesson, you will be introduced to British English slang, basically informal vocabulary that is commonly used across the UK.
These slang words can often be overheard in conversations on the streets in London, on public transport, and in movies. Some of these words and expressions are NOT appropriate for polite or formal conversation, but they are fun to learn and useful to know in order to understand popular culture from Great Britian!
So, if you find yourself confused when speaking to a native Brit, check out these 12 words (that they definitely dont teach you in English class! 😉)

Not really a slang but I really like it when Brits use the word "bloody" to emphasize on something. :D

[@daveaugustwade]

@Meu doginho fofinho Yeah, I do remember those. Oh, what I wouldn't give for the good old days. A lot of great memories!

As a native Brit I give this a 100% thumbs up. I would also add that in the North of England people address each other as 'love' or 'luv'. This is used to strangers when being friendly as well as amongst people who know each other. Women say it to men, other women and children. Men say it to women and children. But men don't usually say it to other men. In the north east of England where I come from a similar word, used in the same way is 'pet'.

[@InstantEnglishUK]

Thanks a lot Barry! Great comment

[@jeffjay9350]

Great lesson. As an American English speaker, I learned some new words today. Btw for non English speakers, in America, mate is your spouse or significant other.

[@mysterygirl2881]

Thank you for sharing this ...some I knew like mate , brew, innit.etc. but some I didn't like " bloke, skint,minging " these are not taught and despite one knowing English reasonably well , words like these can make one feel " always deficient "

Thanks a lot for teaching British slang words, being a British. I think it's easy to learn English language from a British but tough to learn the different words, accent, slang from an Indian who knows British English.

Cheeky and mate are used in america, but not as often as the alternative, bro or dude. And now sus could mean cheeky, depending on the context.

Is there any difference between pulling somebody's leg and taking the piss? Anyway.... doesn't "to take a pee" mean to urinate? Looks like pee or piss make a hell of a difference here🤔

[@InstantEnglishUK]

Yea it can also mean that too

[@barrysteven5964]

The key words here are 'the' and 'a'. To take 'THE' piss/pee is 'to ridicule'. To take/have 'A' piss/pee is 'to urinate'.

Hi

[@Skafreund91]

What's about "Fella/Fellas" instead of "Mate"? Is it also quite common to say in the UK?

[@InstantEnglishUK]

Fella could be used for Mate sometimes and Bloke as well 😁

[@barrysteven5964]

You can refer to a man as a fella (I spoke to that fella) but you wouldn't address somebody as 'fella' (thanks, fella). That sounds a bit rude.
