Slang

Britain has a wealth of slang, where it makes up a large part of the vocabulary and can vary massively according to where you are in the country.

Take a look and see how many of these slang words you know:

I. Fit (adj)
So, in the UK fit doesn’t just mean that you go to the gym a lot. Fit is a way of
saying that a person is attractive, or sexy.
E.g. “That guy is sooo fit. Shall I get his number?”
2. Loo (noun)
This is the word Brits use to say they’re going to the toilet without saying the
word toilet.
E.g. “Can we stop at a cafe? I need to go to the loo.”
3. Dodgy (adj)
Dodgy is an incredibly useful word that British people use to describe anything
they’re a bit concerned about. It can be used to mean anything that’s low-quality,
potentially dangerous or unreliable.
“E.g. “I wouldn’t go to that pub. It can get a bit dodgy late at night.”
4. Proper (adj)
Proper is a difficult word to define, mainly because British people use it to
describe so many different things. Doing things ‘properly’ means to do them
correctly or in the right way. Proper can also be used for emphasis in the same
way as the word ‘very’.
E.g. “A proper cup of tea needs milk and two sugars.” “That’s a proper good
cup of tea.”
5. Knackered (adj)
Simply put, knackered means really really tired. It can also refer to something
that is broken beyond repair.
E.g. “I can’t come to the pub, sorry. I’m absolutely knackered
