My most beloved British slang is Knackered. Fucking knackered! It means very tired, exhausted. But those terms are sterlized of feeling, of life. You know that feeling after you finish moving? That total fucking exhaustion, you’re knackered my friend. I can’t think of a word that feels more accurate to the state of reality it describes. Knackered is a fucking gift.
Chuffed. If youre chuffed i believe that means your excited. I hate it but not for real good reasons. It sounds like a bad thing. Like i don’t want to be chuffed from the sound of it. It sounds like i chafed my lungs from sighing too much cuz I’m miserable.
Ok now for the linguistic crime known as snog or snogging. It means to make out or tongue kiss someone. But it sounds like a fucking sex act involving noses. And not a normal sex act. A fucking depraved dirty sex act, you’d feel shame even googling, but again it involves noses. And honestly it sounds like snot is likely involved with this sex act. Do better Britain stop saying fucking snogged you dirty bastards.
What is your most beloved and hated British slang?
Chuffed for me is more to do with being pleased with something you have accomplished.
I like how “chuffed” sounds/feels like someone being all pleased with themselves but without the smugness of “smug”.
This meme pretty much defined “chuffed” for me and I think about it every time I hear the word
