British Slang CHALLENGE

It's time for the British slang challenge! You may remember not so long

ago I did a whole series covering the A-Z of British slang. Now what I'm

interested to know is do you remember any of it? I'm going to give you ten

common slang phrases I will put them within a sentence I want you to listen

to it and see if you can remember what that slang phrase means then at the end

after I've given you ten slang phrases I will then give you the answer to each

one. So it probably will help for you to have a paper and pen to hand, then I

would like you to write your score down in the comment section below. I'd be

interested to know how many you get right. Okay are you ready? Anna you're

Number one lost the plot. yesterday my mother went to the supermarket wearing

her pajamas I'm sure she's lost the plot. so what does that mean?

number two throwing a wobbly. my son never threw a wobbly, well not until he

was two and a half years old and then he threw a wobbly every week. number three

gobsmacked. I haven't yet told my mother I'm pregnant I think she'll be

gobsmacked when she finds out. I have told her by the way. number four have a

gander. the first thing I do when I move to a new town is to go to the local high

street to have a gander. number five on the pull. my flatmate went out with his

brother last night I think they were on the pull. number six pop your clogs. I

don't think you should try skydiving I'm worried about you popping your clogs.

spend a penny. I'll be back in a moment I'm just going to spend a penny. number

eight cost a bomb did you see that brand new government building I bet that cost

a bomb. number nine take them Mickey. it's very unprofessional to take the mickey

out of your students. and number ten waffle, used as a verb not a noun.

please do tell me if I start to waffle.

well guys how did you do? let's go back and have a look at what those slang

terms actually mean. keep count of how many you got right.

number one was lost the plot if you've lost the plot it means that you have

lost your common sense you've gone a bit crazy you're not doing things like a

normal person would do you're doing things that a crazy person would do

you've lost the plot. my mum was in the supermarket wearing

her pajamas she's gone crazy she's lost the plot. number two to throw a wobbly. to

throw a wobbly is to have a tantrum lots of children throw wobblies but also

some grown-ups. number three gobsmacked. to be gobsmacked is to be shocked. it's

almost like someone has hit you in the mouth. Wow oh I'm shocked.

number four is have a gander this means to take a look so if I have a gander at

the high street I'm taking a look at the high street. number five on the pull this

means you are out looking for someone to have an intimate interaction with. so if

you are out on the town with your friends having a drink and you're single

you might be looking for someone very special to get involved with. hello

you're beautiful would you like to go on a date? I'm on the pull. number six to pop

your clogs means to die it's a very colloquial way of saying it I hope that

I don't pop my clogs for quite a while. number seven to spend a penny. I say this

quite often especially at the moment it means to use the bathroom or the toilet

facilities I need to spend a penny and we say this because in the old days in

order to use a public bathroom you would have to have a penny for your entrance

fee. number eight cost a bomb if something costs a bomb then it's very

expensive it blows a hole in your pocket it's so

expensive. number nine is to take the Mickey this means to make fun of or to

tease somebody you take the Mickey sometimes we also say take them Michael

and there is also another version that's a little less friendly a little less

family-friendly. so I won't say it finally. number 10 - waffle means to

talk a lot about things that aren't very important. we've all waffled at some

point I'm sure or you might know someone waffles a lot, stop waffling. well that
