Why not people add their own phrases from their own nations and see if people know them?

I am sure there is some Aussie and American phrases we may not have heard of as well as some more fab British ones.

The problem with American slang is that it ends up in songs or movies that get exported all over the world, so it gets exposure in places like the UK that UK slang doesn't really get over here in the same way. But I'll try a few slang expressions and see if I can stump anyone:

"(something) takes the cake."

"Put your money where your mouth is."

To "lose one's shirt."

"The wrong side of the tracks."

"Ball-park figure"

"zonked out"

"walking-around money"

"A few sandwiches short of a picnic"

"Go piss up a rope"

"Go take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut" Smile

"Blowing chunks"

BTW, we have a lot of colorful terms for vomiting:

Puking, tossing your cookies, blowing chunks (as mentioned above); to "boot," to "hurl," to "upchuck," to "spew," to "barf," to "lose your lunch," ... there's probably 100s more Smile

Ah, in American those would be: "hot, fine, smoking, sharp" along with more joking phrases like "spiffy" or "jaunty" ...

"Down in the dumps," "bummed out," "in a funk"

We generally just call chewing/bubble gum "gum"

"Playing hooky" is truancy/fake sick day.

Actually, I find the cut-glass accent the easiest of all British varieties to understand. The Cockney one is very tough, a lot of slang we Yanks don't encounter even on TV or movies.

But yeah, here to "knock up" means "impregnate" ...

We also have one you might find interesting; it's kind of specific, but when someone emerges red-faced and grumpy looking from a toilet stall and paces angrily away, trailing a long stream of toilet paper from the back of their pants, we call that "pulling a Victor" in the U.S.  Razz

Laughing

No, it means saying to someone that you have been busy all day doing something and you are weary, tired and knackered doing it.

It's Scottish

Crying down me leg =very upset

your gibbed = I'm not your friend any more
heres your mate = I agree/feel the same
These fit where they touch = these clothes are a little snug
Like trying to knit fog = impossible to do
