Hiya Xenutia!

: : Another one I've always liked is
: 'knackered'. It's almost swearing but not
: quite. Means tired.
Someone I new at Uni took great exception to "knackered". She seemed to think that it was "tired" in the "tired after a large amount of sex" kind of way.
Dunno if that was really where it came from.

: Calling someone a 'git' is pretty common.
What about "waster" ie one who wastes.

: Oh, and there's Cockney Rhyming Slang – like
: 'Bristols' for boobs, 'Harris' for backside
: and loads of other weird stuff. 'Boat race'
: is face, etc.
Harris = backside??? Must look out my slang dictionary!
