Blogless

So...A lot of stuff has happened over the past couple of days. None of it can be blogged because we don't want to give you a bad impression of me. I just want to say that I understand less and less of me as time moves on. Anyway, I've been watching Season Disks from my favorite BBC show, Coupling, recently. In one of the episodes the lady says Bollocks three times in succession. I am from America, I had no idea what that meant but I really wanted to incorporate it into my vocabulary. Those of you who know me, know that I don't make cursing a practice. So I had to look it up first and since you all seemed to be fans of the postscriptum blog, I have included yet again for your convenience a list of English slang words that you should know while watching BBC. By the way if any of you see any good BBC shows, let me know. I am a fan of British humor.

  • Barmy - If someone tells you that you're barmy they mean you have gone mad or crazy.
  • Beastly - You would call something or somebody beastly if they were really nasty or unpleasant.
  • Blimey - Another exclamation of surprise.
  • Bloody - One of the most useful swear words in English. Mostly used as an exclamation of surprise.(Swear word)
  • Blooming - Another alternative to the word bloody.
  • Bollocks - Technically speaking it means testicles but is typically used to describe something that is no good (that's bollocks) or that someone is talking rubbish (he's talking bollocks).
  • Cheeky - Cheeky means that you are flippant, have too much lip.
  • Daft - It basically means stupid
  • Dodgy - If someone or something is a bit dodgy, it is not to be trusted.
  • Posh - Roughly translates as high class
  • Slag - To slag someone off, is to bad mouth them in a nasty way
  • Wanker - This is a derogatory term used to describe someone who is a bit of a jerk
