I never used to like Ricky but lately I'm really starting to realise how good he actually is. By the way JT, It's not Ricky Jarvis, it's Ricky Gervais ( Pronounced Gervayz ). Edit: I posted this as soon as I heard you call him Jarvis. I won't remove it though as a lesson to myself not to jump the gun. .🤦‍♂️

There are more accents in England alone, than there are in the whole of North America. Accents can change by going around a corner or crossing a street. The different accents (and pronunciations), combined with how many languages went to make up English, means slang can change just as quickly as accents here. It's also the reason we have so many slang words for each and every thing lol American English started diverging from our English hundreds of years ago, which is why it took a different path. Some American words are archaic English and no longer used over here, and some are just alternate corruptions to the ones that produced our modern words. Again, influenced by other languages, in different ways to how our English was. We tend to automatically understand all the different slang variants here, even if we don't use them ourselves. You can have a conversation between people from 4 different parts of the country, and they will all use their own slang term for something, understanding each other, but not copying.

@2eleven48, it isn't as you've spelt it - it's two separate words without a hyphen and it's spelt off licence....both yours and Ricky's way of spelling it is the American way. It's common knowledge that Americans reverse things and use verbs as nouns and nouns as verbs, e.g. a driving licence in the U.S. is a driving license. In fact all off licences in the U.K. are licensed to sell alcoholic beverages and they've obtained their licences from the licensing authorities within each of their local councils. Some of these slang words that Ricky Gervais mentioned are predominant in London and the southeast of England, e.g. geezer, and they're not much used out of that part of the country. I'm surprised that he didn't mention wazzock, pillock and numpty in this list of his, aren't you?

I believe the 'bog' in 'bog standard' stood for 'British or German'. It dates from over a hundred years ago and referred to the quality of precision-machined hardware such as nuts and bolts. British and German engineering were considered the best, so 'bog standard' actually meant top quality. Over time, this meaning drifted to what it means today: ordinary, no-frills.

Off-Licence is the official term, the slag would be "Offie".. or in some parts of the country, the "outdoor". This comes from the days where a pub would have a separate door to a small area with a bar where they would serve you drinks to be consumed off the premises, so a similar etymology to off-licence I guess.

So someone could be 'a bit cheesed off' (also referred to as 'miffed' if you're me nan) or 'he was really cheesed off' (which I'd say verges on 'pissed') I do love British slang.

Cheesed off ..originates from the way photographers ask the subject to smile by telling them to say " cheese" as the word widens the mouth just to say it..and appears to smile....so to say cheesed off means any scenario thats wiped the smile off the face.

LOL. "I thought 'Liquor Store' was universal." It always makes me laugh when someone from the US thinks the rest of the world uses the same words for everything. Ask yourself why, when you install a text based app, it asks you if you want to use the 'English (US)' (English according to the US) or 'English (International)' (English used nearly everywhere else in the world) dictionary. LOL

Coming from Newcastle, I love stottie cakes. Many internet recipes say stottie is derived from the Geordie (& Scot) verb stot - i.e bounce, because the stottie is soft, chewy and bouncy. That might be the case, but stot means to bounce / hit hard. He stotted his head off the wall. It's stotting down (raining hard). Stotting also means to be very drunk - probably from stotting drunk contracted to stotting. I always thought it was because someone was so drunk they were bouncing off walls, but my dictionary also defines stotting as staggering.

Geezer means a few different things, in the positive it means he's a mans man, or hes cool, or he's "a geezer" which is an archetype/stereo type we have in the UK, kind of similar to "wise guy" or "Goodfella" it actually has connections to gangs and all that from back in the day, which is why in the negative it means he will steal from you or finesse you. Its like "Wise Guy" and "Goodfella" in a mafia context, but its outgrown the organised crime roots and grown to become a way of basically saying "yeh hes cool hes like us into the same things" or even "life and soul of the party" kind of idea. Its funny how much we dont notice how odd the words we use are, and its only when you have to explain them you realise many parts of the meaning are not even solid, yet everyone in the culture understands what it means, even if they dont have enough words to fully explain it

Another side to UK slang is different places calling one item by different names. One of the biggest debates is what you call a bread roll. Where me and my dad are from, Nuneaton, we call it a batch. But my mum is from Manchester and she calls it a barm cake. But where I live now, which is about 30 mins from Nuneaton, it’s called a cob. But there’s plenty of others like bun, teacake, muffin. Pretty sure I’ve heard some call it a wagon as well.

I would say geezer is a London/Essex thing for the most part. I'm from that area and I know quite a few. It's a very specific type of bloke. They're usually working class (though if they're wealthy they would be self-made). They tend to like football, and a drink and a smoke, and are often found in the pub. They're super friendly and charming, very gentlemanly to women, and are the life of the party. They'll do anything for their friends, but you wouldn't want to get on their bad side. They're usually a bit dodgy, and don't think much of breaking a few minor laws here and there. They often have quite a strong accent. If you've ever seen Only Fools and Horses, Del Boy is the quintessential geezer.

Another point, in the UK, we won’t use the word “liquor”, we’ll say “spirits” instead. The booze section in a supermarket is “beers, wines, and spirits”, or BWS if you work there. A bottle of “plonk” is wine. Most nouns +ed can be used to mean drunk, for example pissed, wankered, trolleyed, wasted…

Geezer basically means someone who's "rough around the edges". You could say it as "He's a good guy, he's just a bit rough around the edges." Or, you could use at as a warning - "Careful around that guy...he's a bit rough around the edges." That's basically geezer. Shambolic is a grammatic conjugation of shambles. If something is in shambles, it is shambolic.
