Sod is like an idiot.
*Someone does something you don't like*
"You sod!"

More words:
Settee = couch
Flat = apartment
Tomato here is prononced T-mar-to.

I, for being an American, actually know a lot of British slang.

it is what i thought, actually 😕

Oh 😂

and that you've been visiting them, so you got to learn some brit-english. 😕

A sod is a clump of soil that is quite hard. Its the kind of soil you would pick up as a kid and have fights with, and it would usually explode or crumble when it hit something. That's what a sod actually IS.

When someone says "stupid sod", it means "idiot". I dunno why.

"Bloody" is just a polite way of saying "f*cking". Even more rediculously tame is "Bloomin' heck" which I personally HATE when people say it.

"Bollocks" is a cool word. It's comical in how you can emphasise it. When someones talking crap, you can just say "Bollocks". Simple.

A "f@g" over here is slang for a cigarrette. Kind of adds some innuendo to the phrase "I'm smoking a f@g" when you consider how common the American definition for f@g is now. It's wierd that I have to use a censor bypass to type the damn thing, becuase I keep thinking "why is a cigarrette offensive?"

Everything "sucks" I noticed, according to Americans. That sucks, this sucks. Even I say it now, which sucks 😉

Then there's "ass" - which is just bizarre. We say arse. An ass is a donkey. Yet it refers to the buttock-populated area of the body. Interesting, if totally confusing. And is our "arse" simply a way of poshing-up the American way of saying it?

Also, a child in America can shout "I hurt my fanny", but if a kid over here says it (usually not a boy 😉 ) they get a 'clip round the ear' (there's another one of our lovely phrases to make child abuse sound friendly).

Then there's "pecker" and johnson". I've read all the history books I can and I still don't know who these 2 are. 😂

And we spell everything right. So there.

that was interesting. really. i'm neither English nor American, so i don't even notice the change 😕

and i was always wondering why is it once spelled 'arse' and second time 'ass' 😖 (not to mention donkey connections)
