You can find out everything you need to know about London slang from watching Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins.

Appy Orlidays.

(please note that Mary Poppins is a work of fiction - most londoners at that time were busy drinking themselves to death on cheap gin and cholera)

time for some nottingham slang me thinks.

Ay-up midduk - Hello and good day sir or madam.

Wairzya booza? - Can you direct me to the local public house?

Intitt koad? - It's cold today isn't it?

Gizzabitt - Can I have some?

Wott yonnwee? - What are you doing?

Yo duttie sodd! - I am disgusted by your language!

Owdya orsuzz! - Please be patient!

Gerronn wee-it - Please carry on.

Yo-abitt leereh - You have a high opinion of yourself.

Tarrah then - Goodbye

Tintinere - It's not in here

jugadaaan? - did you go down? (to the shops/football match etc)

me sen - my self -(eg shit me sen)

gerof youf - get off, young person.

cob on/monk on - sulking/tantrum

notts accent is a very strange one. has alot of up north style, like ayup me duck, but also very southern to eg, goin daan taan -down town.

Also there are particular phrases you have to be aware of:

If you were to put my life in danger and i was so inclined i could possibly "draw for the leng" ie reach, with intent to use, some sort of pistol.

There is also the habit of taking a noun and using it as a verb, after "drawing for the leng" i could then say "i'm gonna leng u down", this means i have just stated my intent to use said weapon.

I dont give a shit about learning slang or making any sort of point of it, i speak with a true repersentation of how i have lived my life aka my age, places i have lives, cultures i have been involved in etc

Yeh, North West as you can read <--------

I'm sorry, but this thread stunk of, "How do People London/in the Dubstep scene speak, i wanna sound like them". appologies if this isnt the case.

I guess i have a hang over from the whole Hip Hop culture, with people putting on London or New York accents.

all i know is that from listening to "foriegn" music (radio shows etc..) and reading forums/books/news/etc, i find myself thinking in slang that i have yet to use out loud...
whats that mean? am i being true to myself, or being restricted by society... deep.. huh

This thread was jokes, I swear most Canadians talk like grammatical robots so its not hard to see why he didn't know what riddim meant

Canada's still better than US tho! How can he not work out what riddim means tho, thats just asking for trouble, slang is leaned through pain godammit pain, for example in year 10 I used to think it was nane not nang

I hate the kid that clocked I was saying nane!!!!!!!!
Americans will never fully understand a mixture of cockney Jamaican Indian Irish and Jewish
