I'm from Australia, and was speaking to someone from the UK today and she mentioned someone was a bit of a mug. I thought, hmm! This person seems like a bit of a goody two-shoes - how can this be? Because over here in Oz, a mug is basically a common theif.

Same meaning. Bit of a thug. Or she called them a face...

[Absinth]

Fool.

E.g. "Why the hell are you putting that knife into that toaster, you mug?"

[Rinsed]

Stupid or gullible person, basically.

[emma363]

Idiot

[Alex000007]

Fool/gullible/impressionable etc.

Yup, that makes sense. This person does seem like that, but I don't think she really knows this person that well. Thanks x

Faaackin Mug

[antonfigo]

Another word for a helpful person.... unfortunately seen as a gullible...

[Broderss]

A fool/tool.

[Hooj]

A dumb ass basically.

It's not exactly the same as idiot. It specifically implies that someone is gullible or easily taken advantage of. It certainly doesn't mean thug or anything like that.

He he

Some people I know do sound a bit like that! Really broad vowels x

[Alvrae]

to be mugged is basically to have your wallet ect stolen.

a mug is sum1 who is gullable or is taken advantage of sumhow. i.e. CHAVS that have kids and never work, who bleed the state system dry, they make tax payers look like mugs...

Thats what I sound like ya Aussie bas-taaad

I made a few Aussie mates when I was out there, teaching them the ancestral lingo, they come up their thongs, "arvo barbies" and generally fail at deflecting convict jokes. Pommies do it better in everything except cricket and tanning.
