I like to lean about words from around the world and use them in my speech. I have a particular love for British words. I just love words like spiv, nod, wasteman, barmy, slapper, bruv, shafted, nonce, junkie, bint, smackhead, slag, breve, chav, squiffy, slaphead, dosh, shafted
I’m Dutch, but often speak English as I’m fluent in it, so it sometimes mixes. Other words I often use are
We often toast in the language of the liquid we’re drinking
I’ve never seen that spelling before. Usually I see ‘L’chiam’
Since it’s from modern “Hebrew” it doesn’t really matter how you spell it since Hebrew is an abjat script
Along similar lines, I once saw a food review that talked about Peking duck and Beijing, China.
I love people using it as a synonym for “very”, when in fact means “shit hole”.
That’s the idea of slang
