#10865 Hell no much more to come no doubt!


And mental here doesn't really mean ill or sick as you guys would call it sometimes it just means what it means you know. ie say if some guy just slashed someone(cut someone) the someone would say "aww hes pure mental"



Oh and laquer = gloss to you guys i think lol and i can never spell laquer properly!! :x

#56302 Lol this post is great gotta love that episode of Top Gear one of my fav's.

Also on the pikey thing depending on where in the UK you are it could be

Scally
Pikey
Gypsy
Or my fav Council tenant lol.

Also Scottish to UK English is well different, after living with 2 Scotts for a few years I picked up some bits they say.

Like your a right dobba = ?
Gony no day that (kinda old now I think though) = better not do that.
Taff = Steal. So you would say I'm gonna "Taff" that guys car.
Kin = good mate / family member but its pronounced "kern"

Will think of some more too.
