English Slang
 

It would be interesting for me to know about English Slang! Somebody can help me?

http://www.urbandictionary.com/ is the site for you, my friend. :P Just about any slang word can be found there. :)

But if I think of anything (heavy manual labour does my head in, sort of), I'll post here later.

Wow that's amazing!!!!! Never looked for such a that thing!!!

There are much slang also in Italy... :p

There are probably slang terms that will never be in that urban dictionary, because no one thinks of them...

For example: "How's it going?" is slang in English. Any native English speaker would know that is asking "What is going on with you?", but anyone else would be confused. It is slang, since the words put together can translate to something a person could understand, but would never actually make sense in direct translation.

But yeah, that Urban Dictionary is a good source of finding slang terms. Although I'm curious how you could find some with that if you don't even know the work, but maybe I haven't looked at that website long enough.

Thanks man, it's very useful!

Random fact: UrbanDictionary was developed by a student from CalPoly, in San Luis Obispo.

*looks down and realises that he's wearing a CalPoly t-shirt today*

Ahhh, UrbanDictionary- I keep it bookmakred just to keep up with internet lingo.

Here's a good one:

twat.

What does twat mean?

It's a female Goldfish. Slangwise, It means you're a dickhead. There's another one for you, Dickhead.

Is "I ain't" slang?

Yes, more American slang than English but I use it all the time for no apparent reason.

Which is also slang.

Twat is also slang for a vagina.

Is 'innit' British slang? I wasn't sure if any other English speaking countries say it...

Definitely English.

my favorites are:

Fugly,Mugly,Dugly,Zugly,Jugly and Rugly

I've picked it up from British tv though. I find british slang far more personally satisfying than any other sort of swearing.

Oh, come on!

Australia is the only country where 'clunt' is socially acceptable. As if clunt isn't the best swear-word-turned-slang you've ever heard of.

I had considered censoring the word clunt, but them I remembered I bow to no prissy American nor Englishman.

Alcar...

I loathe that word and generally avoid using it. I live under the fear of Kate.

I'm guessing Kate is the stereotypical female who abhors the word?

You have to weed them onto it, classily*, of course.

*Or force-feed them it. And yes I know 'classily' isn't a fucking word, Wil *heart*

Alcar...

No, Kate is the token female among my university friends.

‘Classily’ is a word, Peter. Also, why are you picking on me? In addition, who censored ‘cunt’?

It's a word? dictionary.com, you have failed me!

And cunt isn't censored.

Alcar...

Au contraire.

God dammit Charlie! :pirate:
