Howdy everyone!

Before I explain the purpose of this thread, please everyone, don't post foul language, keep it cool/funny/slangy but avoid swear words smile.gif

So basically in this topic, post slang words as used in your country so that we can close the gap between ourselves and apply each other's language aswell biggrin.gif For example, I used to always say 'dam' but instead, nowadays i say 'dang' (an american's influence lol)

Try not to post a bunch of them, post one word at a time so we can make this a popular thread cool.gif

If you're gonna tell us a British slang, write it like this:
British: init

Same goes for American slang

okay lets begin, I'll come up with one from my country

British: not my cup of tea (means not my taste)

Howzat? - cricket slang to challenge a call.

Sorry, my American slang is "a bit rusty" - meaning I haven't used it in a while. That's slang, right?

Ummm... *thinks* "Dude, that's so metal!" - actually refers to how those who play metal define something very heavy-metal-like (ex. my friend is getting a Schecter Hellraiser eith EMG pickups. It's very metal."

Technically a subset of American culture, but culture nonetheless

"I think that I might have to smoke an ounce before seeing that again." While it is a mrijuana reference, it still amuses me. It means, roughly, "That's disturbing."

Ladki- Yeah, I use it, rough western equivalent is "Chick". It's used in reference to women of adolescent age (most often). I hang out with a bunch of people who use it in this context, and I typically do, too (in reference to Desi girls only, of course).

Oooo, Gorrah! It's the one aunties call me, meaning something like "cracka boy". They call me that or "light boy" or "tan boy" (one aunty, as a joke, after seeing me eat with my hands... long story).

My favorite slang term has got to be "you're in quite a pickle", meaning "this is going to be difficult to get out of".
