British Slang Words, Swear Words, Curses, Phrases, Insults, Expressions, Colloquialisms & Expletives! Some Funny Pommy Vernacular!

Ahhh, English. No other language in the world has been as bastardised as this one! And today’post is about where it all started – British Slang!

What I mean is that this once mighty British Empire that more or less covered a quarter of the world’s land surface could not ever have imagined that English would evolve to almost a million words – and almost every single one of them would be an English slang word! Actually, every single saying are probably Jokes in English!

I’ve heard all sorts of funny slang, from New Zealand, to South Africa and everywhere else!

But for starters…

Also, English just steals words from other languages if they can’t find one that fits a certain description. I mean, there are tonnes of French, German and Spanish words which have been adopted into the English language.

That’s right, English took on a beastly form of it’s own wherever it was transported to. Some obvious examples include the Australian Slang (which I use all the time) and New Zealand expressions.

Of course, there is North American slang, South African slang and any other language that merges with English.

Sometimes we forget that the English Slang words are quite funny, humourous and downright hilarious.

As much as I like making fun of the Poms (that’s Australian slang for the English), I really love the dry witted, black and ironic English humour that graces our screens and eardrums.

And today, to celebrate this, I’m going to provide a really crazy list of English Slang words to further broaden your English knowledge and education!

Here it is!
