I've been watching a lot of BBC America--shows like 'Green Wing,' 'At Home with Braithwaites,' 'Mile High.' Can my UK friends provide me with definitions for the terms below. Some I have an idea about based on the context in which they were used.

 

wanker, wankpot - one who plays with himself

sod - poop

sod off - like 'piss off' but to do so in the poopy sense

bullocks - ?

git - ?

 

quid - same as a British pound?

'Codswallop' I think means bullshit.

A sod is actually a piece of rolled up lawn turf, but it's also short for sodomiser!!

 

A bullock is a male cow, think you mean bollocks.

 

A git is someone being a little bit rotten.

 

And yes a quid is a pound.

You'd say somebody is a right wanker if you don't like them. Often also put together as Fookin wanker. He's a fookin wanker - He really is a complete idiot.

So what does "bollocks" mean? I know there was a Nirvana bootleg called Nevermind the Bollocks, so I was assuming it was a place where they performed. And how about "bugger" as in "bugger off"? I have same vague recollection of bugger being synonymous with sodomite.

 

Here's a word I'm 100% sure of. "Sheist" = :poop: in German

Buggar :: One up the bum,no harm done !! <_<

 

Bollocks :: Not Bullocks,Means blokes testi's or can mean talking rubbish.

Alright, this is really helpful. My wife (from the Philippines) and I have been watching a lot more British movies and movies with british actors and she's always asking me what the hell there saying (usually the curse words). No I can tell her. :P

There seem to be a few experts on the boards so feel free to try some more.

 

My favourite mix up is the difference between US/UK for the word Fanny.

I actually got a chance to catch 6 straight hours of Mile High this weekend. Great show.

I agree! Yum.

 

Me mate Spooner calls 'em Billies! I'm too polite for any of that nonsense though! <_<

 

I sometimes call them an entree, but that's just when I'm being rude.

It's nice to have confirmation that I've been using it in the right context.

    • New album 'Universal Human Desire' out March 31. From Lions Pride Music: Outlasted is a professional rock band hailing from Norway, known for their captivating blend of AOR (Album-Oriented Rock) sound. Formed in 2010 by guitarist Terje Fløyli and keyboard player Odd-Børge Hansen, the band's unique journey began with the exchange of song ideas through traditional mail, rather than the ubiquitous digital communication we now know as email. Despite residing in different cities, Fløyli and Hansen forged a deep musical connection, fostering their shared passion for AOR by burning CDs and sending files back and forth. Gradually, their collaborative efforts materialized into a collection of songs that formed the foundation of their debut album, "Into the Night," which was released in 2016 through Melodic Rock Records. To bring their vision to life, Outlasted enlisted the talents of drummer Rune Bryn and bassist Rickard Johannesson, who contributed to the recording of the album's bed tracks. However, the band's lineup experienced changes, leading to the recruitment of vocalist Glenn Wikran, drummer Rune Erling Pedersen, and bassist Aleksander Schjølberg. The release of "Into the Night" garnered international acclaim, captivating listeners worldwide and receiving high praise from critics. Notably, the music video for their hit single, "Someone Like You," quickly gained viral popularity, spreading like wildfire across the internet. In 2019, Outlasted unveiled their highly anticipated sophomore album, "Waiting for Daybreak." The CD edition, limited to 500 copies, sold out within a mere three months, attesting to the band's growing fanbase. Tragically, shortly after the album's release, their record label underwent a change in ownership. Consequently, the physical copies of "Waiting for Daybreak" became coveted collectors' items. However, the band remained undeterred, navigating these challenges with resilience. Prior to commencing the recording of "Waiting for Daybreak," Outlasted underwent another lineup transformation, bidding farewell to drummer Rune Erling Pedersen and bassist Aleksander Schjølberg. Their vacant spots were filled by drummer Andreas Jentoft and bassist Lasse Ingebrigtsen, both of whom contributed their exceptional skills to the band's subsequent music videos, "Chains of Destiny" and "After All These Years." In 2023, Outlasted inked a significant record deal with Lions Pride Music, solidifying their global reach. Currently, the band is diligently crafting their third studio album, poised for release on March 31, 2025. With their unwavering dedication and unwritten chapters awaiting, Outlasted is set to captivate audiences once again with their irresistible AOR sound, leaving an indelible mark on the rock music landscape. Outlasted is: Glenn Wikran – Lead Vocals, Backing Vocals & Guitars Terje Fløyli – Guitars Odd-Børge Hansen – Keyboards & Backing Vocals Lasse Ingebrigtsen – Bass Andreas Jentoft – Drums 01. Weight Of The World 02. Save Your Love 03. Tonight 04. Lost Without You 05. Afraid Of Love 06. Monkey On My Back 07. We Are One 08. Last Of The Runaways 09. Think Of You 10. Last Time She Cried 11.

    • Love a bit of Kim. She's done some real quality albums over the years, especially her first 5 or so albums. 'Here Come The Aliens' from 2018 was a real return to form and the 2 latest singles promise a lot for the new album too. 
    • Nothing has really stuck with this tbh, so a  solid album without blowing me away.
    • Great album..one of the better MR discs this year
    • A good album and their best in quite a while. 'Don't Wanna Say Goodbye' and 'State Of Emergency' are my picks. 
    • It's ok, although a little weak on the original songs if  i'm honest. Of the  6 New England covers, whilst quite well done, they don't improve or add anything compared to the fantastic original versions, although  'I'm Not Down', which was meant for the unreleased 4th New England album, is the clear winner on this set.  Not an album that will get played very often, but not a bad effort.
    • Yep...musically very sound, but a little bit too 'preachy' for me.
