Regional Phrases

Also, the word "fit", as in good/gorgeous, ie. he/she's so fit/this meal is fucking fit. I don't use that one myself a lot but I hear it all the time.

There's the phrase "chatting shit", for use when the target is talking out of their arse.

You just summarised most of my regional phrases right there more or less.

Going to a Southern Uni and hailing from the North is quite interesting. I get the piss taken out of me for saying 'me' instead of 'my', usually for phrases like "Ooh I forgot me pen again". Also saying I'm going 'up' to places, like "up to the pub". The boyfriend says "Where are you to?" instead of "Where are you at?" which is quite amusing.

Another few colloquialisms that people tend to laugh at when I say is something like minging, wicked, banging, buzzin' (used to use that sooooo often in High School), doody, dinky, WELL GOOD. etc.

Also, saying 'packie' is a derogatory term for an Asian that they take huggggee offense to.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
