London slang? General British(maybe more so English) colloquialisms?
Original post by Nikov
Hey, I'm from Brazil and I want to learn some slang.

Wag1 get out of my endz or I'll chef you :cool:

Note to mods: Please don't punish me because the OP wanted to know some slang so I'm telling them some slang. None of this is meant to be rude or cause offence or harm to anybody in any way

That's dead slang. If u want to learn slang op just reply to me cuh I know bare slang.
Heres just a few:

Long; as in "let's go to the cinema"
"Nah that's long man"
This word can be used to describe something to be unnecessary or time consuming.

Shotty; as in "Shotty long bro"
Referring to a shotgun but I doubt you'll ever need to use that

Bare; as in "that's bare long man"
Bare can mean ' A lot of, in excess of'. It can also mean the opposite but in slang terms it means to have a lot of something such as bare money or bare girls ( alot of money, a lot of girls)

He means the slang is essentially out of date and has evolved. No one really uses "wagwan" anymore in London as far as I have seen. Chef is another term I haven't heard too much when it comes to 'shanking' people. Interestingly enough- the term "dead" itself is slang- and in this scenario it just means the slang is expired and not used much.

Depends where you live, in my area we pretty much use all those words, as well as new slang

London slang is actually just Jamaican mixed with English tbh.
Pattern up = fix up
fam = friend (find this word cringe personally)
bruv (this is also cringe)
mandem = group of boys (if u aboy say this)
gyaldem = gyal squad

my fav line is:
Its a bit of a sticky one stilllllllllll
im supposed to be revising;/
hey OP !

when you go to London you will find that most people there speak in "rhyming slang". they love to go to the "leaky tub" for a glass of "laugh and titter". then they gather round the "George Melly" to watch Eastenders. they like to chat about how much the value of their "rat and mouse" has increased since breakfast. if it has gone up by less than a "bag of sand" they feel "Auntie Glad" and may give their partner a good "West Riding".

hope that helps.

I doubt he will be interacting with people who speak like that. When he said slang he means urban slang not cockney loooool.

You're washed mate fully dun out here

gyaldem: the girls
mandem: the guys
at lunchtime the Londoners like nothing more than a jellied "Andrew Neill" with some tasty "Pirate's tache".
