Jumper (n.): sweater
Fit (adj.): attractive, equivalent of 'hot' (slang)
It took me a while to understand that this meant 'attractive' instead of athletic.
Brolley (n.): umbrella (slang)
Side note: I left mine at church last Sunday, so I'll be trekking through the rain this week :(
Mum (pn., n.): Mother, mom
Lorry (n.): big rig, truck
Torch: (n.): flashlight
You may remember this word used by Edmund in Narnia: Prince Caspian.
Quid (n.): pound, equivalent of calling a dollar a "buck" (slang)
Shandy (n.): Drink: part beer, part lemonade
Lemonade (n.): Clear soda, tastes & looks like 7up/Sprite
*My favourite commonly used word--"Sorted"
It can be used in the following contexts:
Under control - "I had it sorted." like when Peter Pevensie felt he had the fight in the Underground handled & chided Edmund for intervening.
Command to 'get it together' - "Get it sorted." or "I need to get it sorted." especially when the subject is all over the place & muddled.
