Folded Corner: It has been a month here in the UK and sadly enough i am starting to pick up on the British jargon and have decided to share with you some of the less flaterring bits of the English language (yes, English is the official language here in Great Britian, i am getting this out of the way for those of you who were not certain. See, it just so happens that a friend of mine was asked by an American which language it is they speak in England !!!!!!!!!!) So here are a few highlights so that in your next visit to London you'll fit right in: Fag = cigarette (and not a gay man, who is referred to as a puff) Tart= tramp/slut (and surprisingly enough has nothing to do with French pies) Knickers=underwear (and does not refer to the NY Knicks uniform) Minger=ugly (have no clue where this weird word comes from!)   Do's and Don't's Do not say 'i think', Say 'i reckon.' Do not say 'thank you', Say 'Cheers' (as a matter of fact i think you could get away with just saying cheers and not much else and still be considered a valuable conversation partner) Do not say 'i'm tired', Say 'i'm knackered'. Do not say 'fuck off', Say 'sod off' (or just be damn polite!) Do not say 'awesome', Say 'brilliant!' (pitching up your voice ever so slightly) Do not say 'guy', Say 'bloke' (and they are mostly pale looking and rosy cheeked from the cold) and if you do find one you 'like', say that you 'fancy' him. There are plenty of other pointers, but it's all i could come up with at this hour. As a general rule, call everyone around you 'luv' and pretend you're indifferent to the cold weather and you're on your way to being a local !
