British slang

The British have lots of funny and unique slang words. Their language is very similar to ours. They speak English only with a unique accent. Some of their slang words are: Chips(Fries), Dodgy(Shady), Dosh(Money), Gab(To talk alot), Loaded(Very rich), Absobloodylootley(Absolutely). As you can see alot of these words are similar to our own and some of these some might have never heard of. Either way the british slang is very unique and similar to our language.
