So this lesson will be in English so if you need, make sure to turn on the subtitles and let's get started with the first British slang.
And that is "Bob's your uncle".
"Bob's your uncle". Okay so what does "Bob's your uncle mean"? That is basically a way of saying all sorted, that's it.
So you usually use "Bob's your uncle" after explaining a series of
instructions, and to kind of explain like that's it, we're done.
So for example if I was to explain how to make a cup of tea. I would say get the teabag
pour in the hot water, add some milk, some sugar and Bob's your uncle!
There you go, there you have it, Bob's your uncle!
The next one is "chinwag". So maybe if I break this word down you might be able to guess.
Chin means this part of your face, and wag basically kind of means to flop from one
side to another. So when your chin is moving a lot. A chin wag basically
means to have a chat and to talk about something. And so for example I could say
something like: "let's grab a coffee and have a bit of a chinwag".
which means let's have a coffee and have a chat together.
The next word is "snog". Sorry, that word sounds so disgusting. Snog means to kiss.
So, for example I could say: those teenagers are snogging in the corner".
So snogging means to kiss but more like with your tongues, like a French kiss.
The next one, it's a bit weird. "Knickers in a twist"
"Knickers in a twist" basically means when someone gets really upset or annoyed at something
that most people kind of think is unimportant or might think, why are you reacting so much
to something that's quite small.
When you do that you get your knickers in a twist. So for example
let's say your friends are playing around with you and joke along with you and
you get really offended and upset. They could say you know don't get your
knickers in a twist or stop getting your knickers in a twist. Which basically
means you're getting upset about something that isn't actually that
important so you've got your knickers in a twist...bit weird!
The next one, which is one I use quite a lot: "not my cup of tea".
To say something is not your cup of tea is basically something that's not to your taste,
it's not really your kind of thing.
So for example I could say you know. I don't really like romantic comedy movies but
my friend invites me to go see one. I could say do you know what it's not my
cup of tea, but I'll go with you anyway. So not my cup of tea, not really my thing, not my cup of tea.
The next one is "throw a spanner in the works".
When we say "throw a spanner in the works" we're basically kind of suggesting that
something has happened which has caused some sort of plan or activity to go off course.
So for example, let's say you're doing some sort of construction or building in
your house and everything's going to plan. And going to the timeframe you've planned.
But then the builder says, we've just figured out you need to do some plumbing work before we can continue.
So they've "thrown a spanner in the works". They've disrupted something. Throw a spanner in the works.
And the next one "faff". Faff means to spend a lot of time doing something but not really being effective or productive.
So I could say yeah this weekend I've just "faffed" around or I've been "faffing" around a lot.
Just not really being productive. So that's a "faff".
"Faffing" around. You "faffed" around. Just basically wasting time.
And the last word is "nicked". So "to nick" basically means to still or to rob something.
So I could say: "I'm gonna nick your phone" which means I'm gonna steal your phone.
Or I could say something like I was walking home late one night
and someone came out of nowhere and nicked my phone. They stole/robbed my phone.
Okay so those were eight British slang words for you!
The first one was "Bob's your uncle" which means all done, all set
"Chinwag" which means to have a chat and talk about something.
"Snog" which means to kiss.
"Knickers in a twist" means to get upset about something that's not important.
"Not my cup of tea" this means no, not my thing, not my taste.
"Throw a spanner in the works" which means to disrupt something that's going to plan.
"Faff" which means to waste time not being productive.
And lastly "nicked" which means something that's been stolen or robbed.
