British slang you definitely hear in real life 🇬🇧😂

Fav down your funniest one — or tell me which of these you’ve actually said!👇🔥

1. “You alright, mate?” — the British way of saying hello, not checking your health.
2. “Cheers, mate!” — thank you… or goodbye… or both.
3. “Fancy a cuppa?” — tea solves everything.
4. “That’s proper good!” — the highest level of approval.
5. “I’m knackered.” — completely exhausted.
6. “Stop taking the mick!” — when the teasing goes too far.
7. “That’s a bit dodgy…” — proceed with caution.
8. “You’re having a laugh!” — disbelief, British edition.
9. “He’s a right legend.” — a serious compliment.
10. “Let’s grab some grub.” — time to eat.

To be fair I’ve said them all except ‘grub’. A bit 1950s 🤣
