I find the American, Greek, Spanish and any Asian accent very attractive

So true! The Brits have their own unique way of saying things.

French accents are cool too.

Russian and French. Mmmmm Russian and French :D

I really do love the British accent. Ever since I was a kid, I would immitate it to the point where I can do an amazing fake accent, if I do say so myself. Didn't know some of these phrases, though. Thanks.

Some of my favorites were:
shopping trolley = grocery cart
brolly = umbrella
bladdered = drunk
tart yourself up = get dressed up nicely, make-up, etc.

I think Irish accents (and the people who have them) are very charming.

I didn't know some of these words were British.
I guess I use both British words and American ones.

QUIB?? Are you serious? I believe you mean QUID, if indeed you do mean "one GBP (pound sterling)" ...and you claim to know British slang, psh! :P

I like this post, thanks for it.

And by the way, if you want to "keep up" with england all you have to do is stay there for a month and you know there isnt alot of difference between England and America.

And just to tell you, not all words above or anymore thats will be writen is always used. Im British and I dont say all that, and I use american words because sometimes they sound better or i just like the word i.e cupcakes

Oh! and it isnt "quib" its "quid"

Very nice article :) You seemed to cover quite a range of topics there! :D

If you don't mind, I'd like to throw in a few cents on some terms I've heard ;D

I've met/talked to quite a few english people, and a few who know a bit about some of the lingo, also. If any of these are incorrect, please feel free to correct me, and I apologize if I used them wrong. These are mostly what I've inferred or learned from speaking with them, etc.

"Flying around like a blue-arsed fly" or some such variation of that is equivalent to "running around like a chicken with your head cut off".

Also, pardon the language, but "fuck all" is the equivalent of absolutely nothing. If you can do fuck all at website coding, for instance, you can't do much of anything with it.

And lest we forget that "pissed" means drunk, and not angry.

And I'm pretty sure they near always call the bars "pubs".

And "plaster" is bandaid. :D Very important to know if you get injured.

"Trolleys" are trains, I'm pretty sure.

"Brillo" is slang or short for brilliant, which you've already defined :)

OH! And a pretty girl might be called a "bird". :D

You've got your basics like biscuits (cookies), flats (apartments), football (soccer xD) and what not, but I'm pretty sure those are mostly understood :D

There might be others I've learned or heard, but those are all I can really think of now. Hope this might help a bit, and as I said, if anyone knows better on any of these or that I used it incorrectly, please, feel free to correct it :D

Well done. I, too, am British and I agree with Too_Happy... I use more American terms rather than English terms... esp. when speaking to Americans... they get confused all the time. (No offense.)

Haha, I'm always slipping into a Brit accent without intending to, though I be American born and bred. As it is, my vocabulary strays to the Brit side of things. You forgot to add that-- depending on the region of England from which they hail-- they tag "luv" onto just about any sentence addressing a female. Also, jelly refers not to preserves, but to gelatin aka Jello. And let's not forget "water closet" or "toilet" rather than bathroom. Jolly good, ay? :) And while "cheers" can mean thanks, I've often as not found it as an alternative to goodbye.

@magicalmusicgirl@xanga - LOL, my boyfriend's sister told me that -- she had a funny story to it too.

My boyfriend's currently in London right now. D: Although, English accents are sexy. ;)

The british (english) accent is at the top, and also the british (scottish) accent is very beautiful. the Irish accent is lovely and of course so is the Welsh. That whole region just sounds lovely to me.
