British slang words

Why didn't you respond to my ERMOK post eejit.

I figured you would like to make fun of that one.

What if I started using ERMOK after every post instead of LMFAO.

Would that be better for you.

At least you know know I am just finishing my thought.

I don't think you did.

If you don't I guess you could ask again, but you are smart and should be able to get it.

ERMOK.

Id love to hear why "dog and bone" means phone? That one def escapes me. Only british slang i know is from guy ritchie movies, i definately like "proper f**ked". And i dont know why, but i love the word "quid". "give ya 5 quid for that gov'nor" is a lot coller than "ill give you for dollars for that sir". Hands down the coolest thing about the brits is the language or colloquialisms.
- Cheers Mates!!

I wonder if Eejit would know American slang better than British slang.

It seems to me he would but I don't know.

Interesting question, me thinks.

It is known as ****ney Rhyming Slang.

From Wikipedia:

Rhyming slang is a form of slang in which a word is replaced by a rhyming word, typically the second word of a two-word phrase (so stairs becomes "apples and pears"). The second word is then often dropped entirely ("I'm going up the apples"), meaning that the association of the original word to the rhyming phrase is not obvious to the uninitiated. For example: "Sherman" for an American (Sherman tank = Yank),[1] or "septic" for an American (septic tank = Yank).

Here are some examples, also from Wikipedia:

Very nice information Tay.

Thanks for showing it to us all.

Talking about other peoples cultures, even if it's just the way they speak, is very, very fun.
