Country specific slang?

Okay i'm just noticed that people who don't live in aus (and some who DO) don't know what I mean when i say someone is a Dag or daggy... Though it should have come to me earlier as I use to call my friend Hannah a daggy child and she didn't know what i meant at first... but yes. It got me to thinking what slang do YOU use that people don't get?

So for me it's Dag/gy - silly person (that about sums it up lol)

I've noticed UK peoples saying that's... Well good or something like that. Using Well as really or something.

So... yes. What do YOU use?

When I first moved to Scotland everyone kept saying "what's the crack?" And I thought they were asking me if I had any crack cocaine!!!
Boy was my face red when I found out what it meant!

Crack = news/gossip/what's going on etc




You see a mouse trap
I see free cheese
And a ****ing challenge

Ned? Or numpty?

A Ned is a Non Educated Delinquent, Scottish equivalent of a chav (almost). A numpty, well, generally means someone's an idiot, eejit, silly person etc..

i say people are dags meaning the same as you jess.
there is also a (quite rude) new zealand saying "rattle your dags" which means hurry up.
you can look up why it's rude :p

Yeh Shona,

Don't know what you think but I've found Ned seems to be more East of Scotland saying whereas numpty seems to be more Glasgow or west of Scotland!

Didn't realise it was Non Educated Delinquent mind (although i do like)

I dunno whether its so much as slang as the accent round my town is attrocious

Babby - baby
pram - pushchair
chav

blag - something that is irritating or to blag something off someone, to get something off someone

My brains dead but will prob think of some more.

*ignores jess*

pram comes from the old british name, perambulator, for those old fashioned prams with the big wheels where the baby lies flat.
