Learning Brit slang in Pakistan
Well, living with a British guy at home and in the office, you can't not be bombarded by some slang.For those in a similar situation, here are some that I've learnt:
Snoop Doggie Doo Da = aka Snoop Dog
THE shit = THE thing, THE cool stuff, basically it's a good thing.
__ IS shit = it's bad. Like the Spice Girls IS SHIT.
As a comparison, in Andrew's very words: Tom Yum Noodle Soup is THE SHIT, while Boyzone is SHIT.
I'm glad my cooking's more enjoyable than boy band singing.
Shizzle = an evolution of THE SHIT
Slash = Piss.
e.g.
to go for a slash = to take a piss
and my favourite....
the BIRDS! = the GIRLS!
always gets my roommates excited, seeing they've been in a depraved situation for MONTHS.
I guess the best thing is that I can now watch British movies and comedies and not be clueless about the slang they use. One bad thing I foresee is that is friends back home in Singapore will be looking up at the sky whenever I say,"Check out those colourful BIRDS..."
