Oh Jeez...

I was born and raised and still live in Los Angeles. However, I’m also a pretty major anglophile and I really really really want to use Brit words/slang in my everyday life. The thing is, I know I’m going to sound so dumb if I do, because not only is American English so bland, but LA English specifically does not have an accent. There’s no southern drawl, and we don’t add character by dropping the “r” in words like car or yard. Here are the things I’d love to say on the daily:

• Rubbish
• Gutted
• Bollocks
• Bloody
• Bastard
• Duffer
• Dustbin
• Gobsmacked
• Brilliant
• Cheeky
• Naughty bits
• Fanny around
• Fancy (as in, I fancy you)
• Jumper (instead of sweater)
• Nail varnish (instead of polish)
• Presenter (instead of host)
• Hen doo (instead of bachelorette party)
• Pudding (instead of dessert) 
• Pub (instead of bar)
