What are some conversations that can only happen between two British people?


Woman 1: (In tears) “It's no good. He's been cheating on me, with my sister; he's not paid the rent in 6 months so we have to be out by the end of the month; the car failed it's MOT and I can't afford to have it fixed; the cat got run over yesterday and my period is 2 weeks late….”

Woman 2: “Aaaaaw….i'll stick the kettle on.

Cup of tea and a chat can fix any problem

Man 1: “So….you coming out later?”

Man 2: “Erm….bit busy later, but might pop out for a quick half if you're about”

*There is “going out”, “nipping out”, “popping out” and “staying out”, which can all mean different things!

And then there's a whole, perfectly meaningful sentence, made up of variations of a single swear word…

Man….on discovering his new power tool has just died halfway through a job: “Oh fck! The fcker's fcking fcked now! F*cking hell!


What are some conversations that can only happen between two people from your country?

What is it with the British? They seem to use the F word so much it often even comes up in 'polite' talk.

Oh, no mate, Brits are very careful with swear words. You have to know the right time, place and occasion to use those when you are in the UK. Otherwise others lose respect for you quickly.

@Ryo1 As I am doing with some British. Bloody hell is much better and typical British. F&%# is not.

I grew up with a number of variations of these phrases.

#1 Shit a brick she's gunna be a stinker! (ooh it's going to be hot)
#2 TFE me old cob, got a goonie chilling in the kamikaze esky. (Too fucking easy my friend, I have cask wine in the foam cooler)

#1 Geeze, lucky there's no low flying ducks around!! (I'm hungry)
#2 Lets go for a mung at Lumpy dacks, better chips than Kentucky chuck or macca's. (Lets go eat at Hungry Jacks (Burger King everywhere else but Oz), they have better french fries than KFC or McDonalds)

If someone starts boasting too much or is being pretentious, you tell either sex to "get their hand off it". eg self pleasuring a bit much.

Or in the North of England

"If you fall down and break your leg...Don't come running to me for help"

"Don't look at me in that tone of voice!"

"I'll make you smile on the other side of your face"

"Come on get off"

"Hang on, listen, can you smell something funny"

"Listen buddy, you're no friend of mine, but that old bastard he's my best mate"

"it's old news that he's pretty ugly but for an old boy, but well a nods as good as a wink to a black cat in a coal cellar with the lights off and snow on the roof doesn't mean no fire in the grate, if you know what I mean"

Ist Irishman: (answering a knock at his door) Oh hello Micheal
2nd Irishman: Are you at home or is this not your house?
1st Irishman: 'tis my house
2nd Irishman: Well then It's no wonder that you are the spitting image of yourself. I've come to the wrong house
1st Irishman: Ah that'll be the case, do you have time for a drink?
2nd Irishman: I do that
1st Irishman: then you've not come to the wrong house.
Some time and half a bottle of Jameson's later
1st Irishman: Where was it you were wanting to be anyway
2nd Irishman: I was want to visit old O'leary, he's awful poorly, in bed under the doctor with his leg they say. Would you know how I get there
1st Irishman: Oh that's a long ways off, and I'll tell you this, you don't want to be starting from here!
2nd Irishman: Oh right then, I'll head home and try again in the morning.
