Hello again!!! I thought I would share something a bit lighter and fun. Here's some British sayings/words that are different than American phrases.
You alright? :This is what people say to greet you. Like a "how are you?" It throws me off because I always think something is wrong with me, lol.
Jumper: what we call a sweater.
The letter Z: pronounced zzzzz in America, here it's zed.
Trolley: shopping cart
Chips: French fries
Crisps: chips
Sweets: candy
Ice lollies: Popsicle
Plaster: bandaid
Jelly: Jell-o
Rubbish: trash
Lift: elevator
Petrol: gas
Biscuits: cookies
Bellend/ knobhead: dick head 😂 (Sorry mom!)
Cheeky: playful/ornery
Knackered: tired
Chemist: pharmacy
Toilet: bathroom/restroom
Jog on: get on with it (not necessarily the nice way to say it)
Boot: trunk
Trainers: sneakers
Trousers: pants
Pants/knickers: underwear
My favorite non verbal expression... Equivalent to our middle finger! Plus gives you an idea how jog on is used.
jog on!
