Re: Please help share one or two of your slang or idioms
Very interesting bloke. Thank so much for sharing. I know some of them. I sometime use the word bird for the girl too, but some of my fellow Cambodian friends don't know it. I don't know if you have ever heard of Mind Your Language sitcom. I learned the word bird as girl from that sitcom. It is really funny. It is a very old sitcom, but one of my favorite. Michael is one of my favorite stand up comedian too.Jamie_Lambo wrote:one that seems to be used in only my County (province) back in England is that we dont greet people with
"Hello" we use the expression

dont ask me to explain as it makes no real sense at all, i thought it was a general british thing but with having friends from all over they alway pick me up on it, or friends that have moved to my city its one of the things they said they first noticed and used to ask me what it meant lol
other words that we use around my area
"Now Then" = Hello
"Mardy" = Grumpy/angry = "Don't be Mardy"
"Me" = My
"Mucker" = Male Friend = "Coming for a beer me old mucker"
"Duck" = Friend = "Now Then Duck, Stop being Mardy and come for a beer me Old Mucker"
In england we quite often refer to girls as "Birds"
"Now then Duck, Stop being Mardy and come for a beer me old Mucker, i've got some Birds coming out too "
here are some simular variations that are also commonly used
"Ay Up" = Hello
"Youth" = Friend (generally younger) = "Ay Up Youth"
"Sen" = Self (used when labeling someone - Yoursen/Yourself - Mesen/Myself) = "Ay Up Youth, You looking after Yoursen(hi friend, are you alright)"
"Pub" = Public house - a traditional british style bar
"Tut" = To The = "Ay Up Mucker, Get Yoursen Tut Pub"
"Nowt" = Nothing
"Summin/Summet" = Something
"Love = addressing a female (can be seen as nice or sleezey depending on the girl)
"Reet/Alreet" = Alright
"Wanna" = Want to
"Ay Up Love, you Reet? I've Got Nowt to do, you wanna do summin? fancy getting yoursen up tut pub for a drink?"
i could go on all day, but this is every day talk back home and no one understands me anywhere i go, always have to repeat myself, even when i recently spent 2 months in australia, i found it just as hard to speak to people there as i do over here, and as i said in another threat, i have to put on a broken english cambodian accent for pretty much everyone over here hahaha

Samouth if you know how to download torrents, there are books on idioms available, maybe even free ...pdf files on Google.
