English people: Explain your English

[Kaos88]

where i from in tha UK we say we gonna go get "wrecked" if we gonna be goin out to get completley drunk!!! but yea we say gettin pissed as well

we also say goin get to leathered to mean goin to get drunk...but to get leathered also means to get a good beating

taking tha piss means to make fun of someone...but we also call that jesting...but we also use taking the piss to mean like taking advantage of someone or of their gud nature...so like u borrow £5 n then ask for anotha £20...thats taking the piss!!!!

Where i'm from we use alot of words that Jamaicans would use. You wouldn't think a whiteboy was odd if he said "me and my bedrins".

I know some people use the word "gash" as something that is crap however when people say "gash" around my area I assume they mean girls/pussy. Terms like "choong" mean good looking.
"wanker" is a very commonly used word in England.
Although I'm from London I am not cockney, alot of Americans think because your a Londoner your a cockney.

I do not know how any American person can say the way we speak English is funny when a) they have some of the funniest accents around b) they call trousers "pants" and c)they speak our language incorrectly.

Slang is street talk and used mainly in informal conversations.

Slang terms differ depending on where they are used and understood, so your slang may not be my slang, and vice versa.

I can assure you, the feeling is absolutely mutual.

Why? We use proper english, you guys have non-proper funny sounding words!

 

[bastin872]

wtf is "taking the piss" and "going out on the piss"? taking a piss and pissing means urinating. getting pissed or getting pissed off means getting angry.


better to get pissed off than pissed on, no?

Taking the piss means someone making a jke at u and going out on the piss means going out drinking (beer)

also Getting Pissed means getting drunk over here.

To non-Americans the American accent makes people sound stupid. The fact that you remove letters from words to make them easier to spell, and you can't pronounce things like "aluminium" doesn't help.

cokney slang works best if u drop the word that rhymes

i don't understand it! it's like another language!

does anyone in the US use "fuckin oath", like when you agree with someone you say it.

^ to americans, the southern (american) accent makes people sound stupid. everything is slowed down in the south but it's all good, the girls are so cute when they talk.

do people in australia say 'it's as dry as dead dingo's dongers' ?

ps. i've never heard anyone use 'oath', not to mention the term 'flaming hot'
