Every English-speaking country has its own peculiar way of expressing the English language. Americans love to spend their time \u201cchilling,\u201d Australians enjoy grilling shrimps on the \u201cbarbie,\u201d and Canadians put on a \u201ctoque\u201d when it gets cold. But what about common British phrases?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Even though British English is often considered the \u201cstandard\u201d form of the language, it has its own brand of funny British phrases and unique British idioms. While some of these British colloquial phrases evolved over the centuries, others were added to the common vernacular quite recently. In any case, let\u2019s take a look at some of the most common British phrases and their origins:<\/p>\n

The Most Common British Phrases and Their Origins<\/h2>\n

\u201cHat trick\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Though this term is most commonly used in reference to three goals made by one team in a soccer match, a \u201chat trick\u201d can actually refer to three of anything. The term originally came from the game of cricket, in which a bowler has taken three wickets with three consecutive balls. When this happened, the bowler was traditionally presented with a hat.<\/p>\n

Example Sentence: If he can score this goal, he will achieve the first hat trick of his career.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cChuffed to bits\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cChuffed\u201d simply means \u201cpleased\u201d or \u201chappy\u201d in the UK. In British English, \u201cto bits\u201d can be combined with certain adjectives for added emphasis. Thus, \u201cchuffed to bits\u201d generally means that someone is \u201cvery pleased.\u201d The origins of \u201cchuffed\u201d are unclear, though it has been used in England as far back as the 16th century.<\/p>\n

Example Sentence: I finally passed my driving exam! I\u2019m chuffed to bits!<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cGutted\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cGutted\u201d refers to strong negative emotions. The closest synonyms are \u201cdevastated\u201d or \u201cgrief-stricken.\u201d The term has been used in British English for centuries, though it originally referred to a person having their stomach cut open with a knife or sword.<\/p>\n

Example Sentence: Timothy was absolutely gutted when his girlfriend broke up with him.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cKnackered\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cKnackered\u201d means \u201cextremely tired.\u201d This term comes from the verb \u201cknacker,\u201d which means \u201cto make tired\u201d or \u201ctire out.\u201d However, the term once referred to people who bought worn-out animals. Nowadays, \u201cknackered\u201d is one of the most common ways to express sheer exhaustion.<\/p>\n

Example Sentence: I had to work a double shift today. I\u2019m completely knackered.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cChinwag\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A \u201cchinwag\u201d is just a casual conversation. If you break down the word, it actually makes sense. Your chin moves when you speak, and the word \u201cwag\u201d is a synonym for \u201cshake.\u201d In any case, \u201cchinwag\u201d has likely been used in England since the Victorian Era.<\/p>\n

Example Sentence: I haven\u2019t seen my friend for months, so we had a little chinwag this morning.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cTake the biscuit\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cTake the biscuit\u201d is one of those British idioms that is best understood in context. It generally refers to something that has worsened or become annoying. Sailors began using the term as far back as the 18th century, when \u201ctaking the biscuit\u201d referred to running out of food on a ship.<\/p>\n

Example Sentence: I\u2019ve had a pretty bad day so far, but getting this flat tire really takes the biscuit.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBog\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Though a \u201cbog\u201d can refer to a kind of swamp, it usually means \u201ctoilet\u201d in British English. The word evolved from \u201cbog-house\u201d (a kind of outdoor bathroom), which itself derived from the Old English term, \u201cboggard.\u201d Despite its many variations over the years, \u201cbog\u201d has likely been in use for centuries.<\/p>\n

Example Sentence: I need to stop by the bog before we go.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBoot\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The word \u201cboot\u201d refers to the trunk or rear compartment of a car. In the time before cars, carriage drivers had to store their boots and tools in a special compartment under their feet. This was often referred to as the boot locker and later shortened to \u201cboot.\u201d Even once carriages became a thing of the past, the term \u201cboot\u201d stuck around.<\/p>\n

Example Sentence: There are some extra blankets in the boot.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cRubbish\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Though \u201crubbish\u201d literally means \u201cgarbage\u201d or \u201ctrash,\u201d it can also be used as a criticism. Calling something \u201crubbish\u201d is much like calling it \u201cridiculous\u201d or \u201cnonsensical.\u201d The term first came about in Late Middle English, though it was borrowed from a similar word in French.<\/p>\n

Example Sentence: He said that he didn\u2019t take my pencil, but I think it\u2019s utter rubbish.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cDodgy\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cDodgy\u201d is very similar to the phrase \u201csketchy\u201d in American English. Both terms refer to something that is wrong, illegal, or somehow disingenuous. The origins of \u201cdodgy\u201d are unclear, though it has been in use since the mid-19th century.<\/p>\n

Example Sentence: There\u2019s something a bit dodgy about the whole situation.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cPosh\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cPosh\u201d is an adjective to describe someone or something from the upper classes. It is usually seen as a derogatory term. Though the origins of the word are disputed, many believe that \u201cposh\u201d is an acronym of the phrase \u201cPort Out, Starboard Home.\u201d This phrase refers to the best sides of the ship chosen by rich passengers (portside on the initial journey and starboard on the return trip).<\/p>\n

Example Sentence: She\u2019s living in a posh apartment downtown.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cProper\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In most forms of English, \u201cproper\u201d refers to the \u201ccorrect\u201d way of doing something. However, in British slang, \u201cproper\u201d is frequently used in place of \u201cvery.\u201d This is most commonly heard in the north of England, however, the exact origins of its usage are unknown.<\/p>\n

Example Sentence: You\u2019ve done a proper good job this time.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cTaking the piss\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cTaking the piss\u201d is a pejorative (negative) term for acting unreasonably or joking at the expense of someone else. For example, you might hear this phrase if a person is annoyed about being mocked or teased by someone else. The term comes from a similar expression: \u201cpiss-proud.\u201d Thus, \u201ctaking the piss\u201d is synonymous with taking someone\u2019s pride away.<\/p>\n

Example Sentence: Are you being serious or are you just taking the piss?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cA load of tosh\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cA load of tosh\u201d is very similar to saying \u201ca lot of nonsense.\u201d It is generally used as a criticism of a false, misleading, or annoying statement. It originated from the term \u201ctoshers,\u201d which referred to Londoners who would go into the sewers in search of valuable items. These people would search through \u201ctosh\u201d (or garbage), leading to the term heard throughout the UK today.<\/p>\n

Example Sentence: The ref said that the goal didn\u2019t count. What a load of tosh!<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cTickety-boo\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cTickety-boo\u201d is another way to say \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cfine.\u201d It is one of many funny British phrases that are more popular among older British generations. Nonetheless, it can still be heard throughout much of London and the rest of the country. \u201cTickety-boo\u201d has been around since the early 20th century and is believed to have come from a Hindi phrase meaning, \u201cIt\u2019s all right, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n

Example Sentence: Don\u2019t worry. It\u2019s all going to be tickety-boo.<\/em><\/p>\n
