Here are ten common UK slang terms that Hong Kongers may find useful:
- “Cheers”: This is a common way to say “thank you” or “goodbye” in the UK.
- “Mate”: This is a friendly term for a friend or acquaintance.
- “Gutted”: This means deeply disappointed or upset.
- “Bollocks”: This is a crude term for nonsense or lies.
- “Chuffed”: This means pleased or delighted.
- “Knackered”: This means very tired.
- “Bloke”: This means a man or guy.
- “Dodgy”: This means suspicious or risky.
- “Sod off”: This is a rude way to tell someone to go away.
- “Taking the mickey”: This means teasing or mocking someone in a playful way.
Again, we would like to remind that some of these terms can be considered informal or even rude in certain situations. It’s always important to use discretion and judgment when using slang language.
