常用英式俚语盘点
英国人使用很多俚语，尤其朋友之间。其中很多词其他的英语国家也说，但有些是不列颠群岛特有的。为了帮你"cotton on"(俚语，理解)，以下提供一些在英国常能听到的词汇。
【打招呼、 感谢】
Alright? – Hello. How are you? 你好
Hiya, Aye up – These informal greetings both mean Hello and are especially popular in the north of England. The aye is pronounced like the letter A。这两种非正式的打招呼用法，都是"你好"的意思，在英格兰北部非常流行。其中"aye"发音与字母"A"同。
Howay – Let's go or Come on. 走吧
Ta – Thank you 谢谢
Cheers – This is usually said as a toast when you raise your glasses to celebrate, but it also means Thank you。这个词通常在举杯祝酒的时候说，但也可以表示谢谢。
【人的称呼】
Bairn – Baby or young child 小孩子
Lad – Boy 男孩
Lass, Lassie – Girl 女孩
Bloke, Chap – Man 男人
Mate, Pal – Friend 朋友、伙计
Our kid – My brother or my sister 我的兄弟或姐妹
Don't be confused if someone calls you pet, duck, sweetie, love, chicken, chuck, chucky-egg or sunshine. People in the UK often use these terms when they are addressing other people as a sign of friendliness and affection. It is usually not appropriatefor younger people to use these terms with older people, however。如果有人叫你pet、duck、sweetie、love、chicken、chuck、chucky-egg或sunshine，不要觉得奇怪，英国人喜欢用这些昵称来表达友好和喜爱之情。不过年轻人这样称呼长辈就有些不妥。
【社交、约会】
Do – Party. You would go to a do if you were going to a party in the UK。派对、聚会。在英国，参加派对就是"go to a do"。
BYOB – Bring your own bottle. In the UK, it is common for the party host to ask guests to bring their own drinks. You might see BYOB written on the invitation。自带酒水。在英国，派对的`组织者通常会让客人自带酒水，你可能在请帖上看到BYOB这个词。
Cuppa – Cup of tea 一杯茶

It is also used to emphasize almost anything, e.g. "you're bloody mad", "not bloody likely"。英国英语里最有用的脏话。多用于表达惊讶之情，如bloody hell(该死、见鬼、我的天)。某事物可以是bloody marvelous(超赞的)，也可以是bloody awful(糟糕透了)。它还以用来强调几乎任何事情，如you're bloody mad(你简直疯了)、not bloody likely(没门儿)。
In the UK, you may hear people use the slang terms "well", "dead" or "mega" instead of "very" or "really". For example, "It was dead good" or "That exam was well difficult!" 在英国，你可能会听见人们使用俚语用法的well、dead、mega来代替very或者really。如It was dead good(棒极了)，或That exam was well difficult。(考试好难。)
