So over in SD&D we started having a discussion about the different types of English and I thought it would be fun to have a thread where we discussed words used in your region that aren't used anywhere else!
For instance, in Ireland:
-to "give out" to someone is to tell them off or shout at them. I only realised that this was an Irish phrase a couple of years ago.
-"bold" is a word to describe a naughty child.
-"banjaxed" is another word for "broken"
-"shift" - is a word that essentially means to kiss or make out. But it's used in many different ways because young Irish people are obsessed with "getting the shift", or, you might say, they're "mad for the shift."
-"feck" is a word similar to "crap" that isn't really a swear word, but functions as a swear word in situations where you shouldn't be swearing.
Similarly, if your mother tongue isn't English, are there some funny phrases/slang in your language that you wish translated well?
