Do you use slang terms that aren't native to your country?

Quote:I use a ton of them. My grandma is British, which is where most of them come from. In normal conversation you will hear me say "Oi!" to get attention from someone, "Bloody Hell" as one of my many swear words upon expressing anger, and quite a few Spanish swear words too just because I know them.


I didn't know "Oi!" was British in origin...I mean, I know about Oi! punk and all, but it's a fairly common term in PA as well...

As much as I dig Brit slang, I've never found myself using "bloody." I'm not sure why. Maybe it just strikes me as too "so what do you say, old chap?" for my liking.



Quote:I called someone something very very inappropriate today using British slang.


Care to share? Inquiring minds...Wink
