Bilious. As in "he’s 'avin' a bilious do" meaning he’s feeling or been sick. For PC purposes it can also be a she. Or a they/them to keep the wokey brigade happy 😉 |

I have a theory about nesh and its origins. The German word for wet is “nass”. Before the Industrial Revolution, to be wet usually meant you’d later feel the cold. Welcome to call my bluff with Menicant. |

I always thought berk was just an harmless way of calling someone a bit of an idiot and a great word. However, didn’t realise until a few years ago that berk is another variation of the C word. The full saying in Cockney rhyming slang is Berkshire Hunt. Berk is a shortening of that. Indeed, and as it happens we used to live in Berkshire until quite recently...so that made me a berk. Love it when people use it assuming it to be an innocuous term. The silly berks. |

Shag
As in "you owrayt shag?", saying hello to your best friend or mate.
As opposed to going to empty your onions in the local bike.

Welcome to call my bluff with Menicant. 👍 I have a book on the origins of words and sayings...not heard that one before. Blighty was of similar origin , from Urdu for strangers and was picked up on to mean home ,misheard or slightly wrongly pronounced words from another country |
