Well, I am leaving for the U.K. today. My band was asked to play some shows over there. Be gone for 10 days and I am very excited/nervous about it. Go to withered if you are curious or care about such things.
It is my first trip across the pond so it will be incredible anyway plus our label is footing the bill. Talk to ya'll later.

Make sure to use a spoon so you can get all of it out of the pint glass.  |

"Do wot mate"
"Do fakkin wot"
"You fakkin great tossa"
"Fak off you wanka"
"You fakkin pufter"
"Wot you fakkin lookin at"
"You fakkin calling my pint a puff"
etc, etc...
and you'll be fine
Good luck. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

"Scum" would be a more suitable word, or "council scum", "council estate scum".
Another useful tip is that the word "tosser", while sometimes used as an insult, often just means "good buddy". So when someone buys you a pint, it is best to say something like "Thanks tosser", "You're a great big tosser".
Wanker is another word with double meaning, as it is often used as a greeting among friends. So when you meet someone, just say somethi9ng like "Alright wanker" or "even just a simple "Wanker" will suffice.
Telling females they have a "Cute fanny" will win you no end of friends of the fairer sex too.
When you meet anyone from the South, especially London, it is polite to offer them a drink, a half pint of shandy would be the prefeerred beverage. If it is not appropriate to drink right then, just let them know that you'll buy them a shandy later.
Likewise, when you meet someone from the North, enquiring about their whippet or pigeons will create an instant bond between you.
When in pubs late at night, it is customary to announce midnight with the call, "You are all a bunch of wankers", this works doubly well if you add Northern or Southern in front of the wankers, depending on where you are..
Just remember these easy simple words and use them often and you will be fine; wanker, tosser, sambo, arse, and fanny.
One last thing, if someone is staring at you, usually the greeting of "Rodney" or "plonker", along with a big laugh, will instantly win their friendship. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Phil, I can't understand if UK is the homeland of English, why isn't anyone speaking it?  I mean, "wanker, tosser, sambo, rodney, plonker"??? Sounded more like Reindeer nicknames to me... |

LMAO - follow Phils advice to the letter.
But be warned you had better know how to say "Can you point me in the direction of the nearest emergency room" whilst spitting out broken teeth.
