Teach me British slang

I'll be going to Leeds in a month and I want to be better prepared by learning some British slang. That way I won't be completely confused all the time, struggling to keep up with what people are saying.

Say "I want to blow you" to a guy :smile: It is British slang loosely translated as "you're cool, I think we should be friends"
Do the V sign with your palm facing yourself. That's how we tell someone they're cool!

No need to learn now. You'll pick them up as you hang around British people. Most are easy to understand by context anyway.
Saying sen instead of self. :frown:

Like someone above said Inbetweeners will give you a good idea.
"Can i lick your bum hole for five pounds?" is common slang for "good morning, how are you?"
