England LINGO

So it's been pretty funny to hear the different words they use here. These are some examples:

Smashing/Fab/Bril = Awesome, great, etc.
Migens = bugs
Dinner = lunch
Rubbish = garbage
Bin = trash can
Lift = elevator
Wee = pee
Ward = hospital unit
y'alright? = How are you?
Love/lova = thats just what they call everyone! ALL DAY LONG!
Cheers = hello, goodbye, thanks, really whatever you want it to mean!!
Knickers = underwear
Que/ q-in = wait/line/waiting
Pot = cup
Obs = vital signs
Bleep/bleeper = page/pager
Pinch = take or steal
What are you called? = What is your name?

It's just so interesting to hear all these terms! It's pretty entertaining to us!

Cheers, loves :)
