[QUOTE="GentleGiant, post: 2451230, member: 11829"] Having grown up with mostly American English (ahhh, the influence of American TV) it's quite fun to have an English girlfriend and discover all the "quirky" little phrases. I had never heard the word "fib" before, but I don't know if it's inherently British. To fib (fibbing, be a fibber) = to lie (or, as my GF puts it, to "tell porky pies") Take the Mick out of someone = to tease them/make fun of them Phwoar! = "wow!" - "wauw!" - often used if something is pleasing to the eye (as in, the opposite sex (or same sex for some :))) Sod off = f*ck off, p*ss off etc., in other words, "please leave... NOW" :D Also, snogging is, as far as I know, just another word for French kissing or even just kissing passionately. [/QUOTE]
