HUZZAH! FINALLY I've finished the first chapter of Blue Sun! It's been a ridiculously long time in coming, but I've finally managed to get it done. ...now, I just need to finish the rest of them Baby steps, baby steps!

Woo!

Recently I've been digging through the internet trying to find common English phrases and some are positively adorable! Here's a list of my personal favorites:

Ace - which is the same as saying "cool" or "awesome".

Bloody - My absolute favorite English phrase! ...which is rather bad because it's a swear! But, it's also an exclamation. It's a term that's used to emphasize something, or as a curse, or...well, yeah, that's about all, I think. You can also say, Bleeding ...although, I've been told that Americans shouldn't say it for fear of sounding foolish!

Brilliant or Brill - which is the same as above but a bit more classic, I think.

Chat Up - basically flirting with the intention to "pick up".

Chivvy Along - this is to say, "hurry up"

Cracking - is what you say to say that something is "the best"

Give Us A Bell - "Call Me"

I'm Easy - "I Don't Care"

Kip - this is a short nap. ...I didn't realize this when I named Ashley's elder brother Kipp, though

Leg It - "Run For It!"

Mate - "Friend"

Naff - "Uncool"

Nesh - "Pathetic"

Nice One - "Good Job!"

On Your Bike - a polite way of telling someone to "beat it!"

Pip Pip - *sighs* unfortunately, this one is no longer contemporary, but it used to mean "goodbye"

Row - this is to have an argument.

Shirty - "Bad Tempered"

Smart - "Sharp" as in how someone is dressed

Smashing - one of my personal favorites, which means, "terrific"

Sorted - you say this when there is a problem that you have resolved.

Spend A Penny - you say this when you need to use the bathroom, or, as they say in England, the Water Closet

Strop - "Sulk" or "Sulking" if one is Stroppy

Take the Biscuit - "Take the Cake!"

Totty - "Pretty Girl" (I think )

Waffle - "Babble"

Yanks - "Americans"


...and I believe those are my favorites, thus far I'll likely add more to the list eventually, but for now, thems my favorites!

OH! Thanks so much to the awesome folks who made this language barrier demolition possible:
