As my pictures would indicate, I evidently spent some good time in England over Christmas break. That being said, here's some common British expressions so that next time you're putting on a British accent you'll have more authentic fillers to babble with.

Crikey!
She's a horrible cow!
What a wanker!
Blimey!
He's quite camp!
Look at that chav!
He's got a small willy!
I'm looking a bit squidgy!
Bloody hell!
I got so pissed last night, I'm hanging!
He's always taking the piss!
Indeed!
I just can't be bothered!
Fancy a cuppa!
Chips! Crisps! Marmite! Biscuits! Curry!
I reckon it's half 8 (this means 8:30, they ALWAYS say half for thirty with time)!

And don't forget that pants means underwear, biscuit means cookie, squash means concentrated juice, jumper means sweater, uni means college, college means middle school, jelly means JELL-O etc...

And, British tv game shows are so great! Famous British comedians answering/making jokes out of esoteric quiz questions, what could be better? If I'm remembering correctly I think there was actually a channel called Dave: the home of witty banter.

But now I'm back in Nantes and strangely needing to know Spanish because there's an group of South Americans my friend (Lucy, girl in pics)befriended at the fac's "Spanish night" Spanish conversation table. Salsa anyone?
