INSPIRING WORDS
Common British Slang Words and Terminology
Ace - If something is ace it is awesome . I used to hear it a lot in Liverpool. Kids thought all cool stuff was ace, or brill . Aggro - Short for aggravation, it's the sort of thing you might expect at a football match. In other words - trouble ! There is sometimes aggro in the cities after the pubs shut! All right? - This is used a lot around London and the south to mean, "Hello, how are you" ? You would say it to a complete stranger or someone you knew. The normal response would be for them to say "All right"? back to you. It is said as a question. Sometimes it might get expanded to "all right mate"? Mostly used by blue collar workers but also common among younger people. Anti-clockwise - The first time I said that something had gone anti-clockwise to someone in Texas I got this very funny look. It simply means counter-clockwise but must sound really strange to you chaps! I think he thought I had something against clocks! Any road
Nice quote mam....
