I have to admit that, in my 56 years, I have never come across the phrase "Mardy Bum" ... and I'm English!
Bollocks is a great word, can be used in so many ways🤔
You have both passed the citizenship test and I hereby grant you the right of abode
"wanker" is one of the best britishism to adopt. Its far more satisfactory than "jerk"
There's no such thing as 'an unhealthy amount of tea', unless it's no tea.
I remember the US court case of teenage British nanny, Louise Woodward, who was convicted and later cleared of killing a baby she was looking after. I remember her in the court (which was on TV as it was American) saying "So I took him upstairs and popped him down on the bed", to which the prosecution said "You POPPED him?!? What do you mean you 'popped' a baby? That sounds like a particularly violent thing to do to a child!" This was 20 years ago and it really stuck with me.
As a Brit, I have never heard of “mardy bum”
As a Brit I went to live in California in 1999 - years later got a green card (how are you staying in Britain without immigration heat?). Then Trump came along and I buggered off to Africa (excellent place) and now I'd have a tough time getting back into the States, should I want to, after being out of the country for 6 months. Point is, I know both cultures really well, and nothing is funnier than hearing Americans using Britishisms in an Amurcan accent. I was determined to keep my London accent for all the years I was in USA, plus all my nuanced British speech. People love it in USA, it gives you an advantage to be talking properly over there - sorry, love you guys.
I am going to "pop" to the "polling station" to vote Conservative on Thursday
Nice garms / clothes
Man waiting to buy a drink in a busy pub after work:
Did you never hear "piece of piss" to say something is easy? but it's a British thing to replace most phrases with the word piss.
As a British person I found this absolutely endearing and hilarious! 😂 thank you so much for bringing a smile to my face this afternoon. 💕😊
Not sure you’re completely understanding “taking the piss”. You tend to say it in the form of a question when you are accusing someone of overstepping the mark, while they have been either “ribbing” you, or asking something of you. “Are you taking the piss?”
My English mate used to get on me about saying "store" instead of "shop". He said you're going shopping, not storing....
"Taking the piss" is also used when we believe someone is being excessive, going beyond the boundaries of what is acceptable, or is treating other people as gullible fools. It's a phrase to say when someone is taking liberties, you might say.
I am an Englishman living in Germany for the last 30 years. Very grateful for the reminders and updates on using the language I love most.
I'm English, with a fairly mild accent and went to USA on holiday. I couldn't believe how many ppl didn't understand me. It was so bad I thought ppl were taking the piss lol.
Taking the piss can have a less jovial use also. If some company keeps you on hold or a tradesman is late to your house, they can be said to be "taking the piss", by keeping you waiting. It is mostly down to tone, delivery and context, but they could be mistaken if you only think it can be said in a good way.
