English to foreign dictionary

[Kato]

I've been noticing a few arguments brewing over people not understanding words/terms that most English speakers use constantly, this leading to arguments.. So, I thought i'd do a post of things like this with an explanation to their meanings

If u want anything adding, just give me a shout below & i'll edit this top post


Minger - Ugly
Mank - Disgusting
Born Stupid - Jokey term for saying somebody is being unrealistic (NOTE: this is not offensive)


I'll add things as & when

ah so you said that I was ugly..well thank you very much KT..

 

[Kato]

not really, "whatever minger" is more of a jokey piss-take phrase I just say it when I know i'm right but can't be bothered arguing

 

[Frisko]

Or you can always say 'shut up you muppet'

 

[Kato]

no cos there's a comeback to that

whatever minger cannot be beaten (tried & tested)

or u could even just say **** off u ****

 

[Frisko]

Crikey those rotters Londoners speak funny! Real gits :dielaugh:

"Muppet" & "Cunt", what do these words mean? I know the latter is a curse word but have no idea what does it literally mean.


Handyo

cunt (kunt)

n. Vulgar Slang
The female genital organs.
Sexual intercourse with a woman.

Offensive. Used as a disparaging term for a woman.
Used as a disparaging term for a person one dislikes or finds extremely disagreeable.



Anyway, nowadays its more just of a jokey "I think ur acting stupid" kinda thing, like if someone was pissing u off u'd say "don't act such a cunt" it's just another way of saying "stop acting the fool"

Muppet is just another way of calling someone an idiot, but in a casual sort of way with no harshness meant

& Frisko, don't even start me on the London thing, guys, u should hear him trying to say "bus"

 

[Frisko]

Lol I just say 'bus' as they do in Nottinghamshire/Yorkshire!

Anyway, in this area cunt is a very heavy word, very offensive especially towards women.

Thats cos northerners are little *******
