A thing people just dont get about the UK is we love slang, slang is STANDARD in speech not a special word or unique addition. We dont like to say the same things the same way over and over again, its what makes americans seem robotic like theyre saying canned lines. We love coming up with unique and silly ways to say things utilizing a vast range of rhyming slang, inuendo, satire, wordplay etc to make a unqie sentence. Its why americans will hear us saying we have 5 'quid' or referring to our shopping as a 'haul' and think oh in the uk they call money quid and their shopping a 'haul' and its like yes but also no, there are like 50 slang words for all these things as well as oc standard words for these items we will use in professional settings, we just speak in slang most of the time normally because its more fun and its how we grew up, having good bant or the gift of the gab is something massively respected in the UK imo.

Should have told them to "sod off" and left it.

TIP - causing the contents of a container to be emptied. Thus if you have overfilled a glass of water, you tip some water out of the glass. This led to the term Fly Tipping, meaning to dump contents out of your car at the side of the road, ie you are tipping something out of your car spontaneously or "on the fly". Thus if we needed to dispose of say garden waste or a broken TV, that may not be collected in the normal rubbish collections, then we take them to the "tip". I'm sure other terms are used as well. We like having multiple meanings for words, and multiple words for the same meaning. I do find it strange how often you are surprised that both our countries use different words to mean similar things, as if we are the weird ones ;), although I do have to give you credit for attempting to look up something that you are being told. However when looking up a common word such as tip, which has a variety of meanings, it shouldn't be a surprise that not all the definitions are displayed with the results of a quick Google search , as a search for "tip definition" produces tip (1), tip(2) and tip(3). You would have seen the definition that Evan referred to as a noun within the search results displayed for tip (2) - A place where rubbish is left

"What are you on about?" Usually means the person is talking rubbish, has mis-understood or is misrepresenting something. I don't recall it being said in any other way - but, maybe that is just where I've lived. Could be inter-changeable with "you're chatting sh*t." Haven't heard it used to ask someone for more explanation or clarification. "What's that?" might be used for that.

Sarnie isn't particularly a northern word. It's used all over the country. I live in Derbyshire, (East Midlands), and in a little parish near me called Breaston, (pronounced Breeston), there's a shop called Barnie's Sarnies.

Tip is definitely the word for landfill area. It is used in Australia and NZ as well. We do not say the dump usually.

We go to the tip to discard of rubbish, it's a national pastime. The rubbish lorries still tip unrecyclable rubbish onto a giant spoil heap called a rubbish tip (guess because the lorries empty by tipping up the back so the rubbish falls out.). These tips are also called 'landfill", but we still call the recycling centre, which is highly organised, THE TIP.

Poppycock was originally American! Likely from early New York, from Dutch words meaning "soft shit". Another term like "numpty" or "muppet" is "wazzock" - it's regional but a good one and fun to say. The most British thing - particularly in some parts of London, is to combine the "question at the end" with "innit" - that's the way people talk, innit? I think "Taking the piss" comes from "piss-take" being a joking mispronunciation of "pastiche" - i.e., a spoof or imitation. BTW, another one from cricket is "I'm stumped", meaning I don't know the answer.

I thought my favourite British phrase was 'get off the bus' until I found out that it isn't even a real phrase, just something I heard on an episode of Taskmaster six years ago.

And 'Steady on' does NOT mean 'carry on'! Usually the exact opposite. Example: Friend: "I'm going to kill my mother-in-law!" Me: "Steady on, Old Chap!" And if you want to sound Old School and patrician (even if only ironically): "I say, steady on etc." Redolent of the (sadly) vanished world of Jeeves and Wooster. No shit, dude!

I love your example 😆

There is a very famous and funny radio announcement from a past cricket match, where the commentator said 'The batman's holding the bowler's willy' !! Interpretation; the name of the man batting was Holding, and the name of the man bowling was Willey 🤣🤣🤣🤣

07:01 Tip. Noun British. 1. a dump for refuse, as that from a mine. 2. Informal. an untidy place, especially a room: They must have packed and left in a rush, because the place is an absolute tip. 07:14 Dog’s bollocks has an interesting origin. Started off as typographer slang for a colon dash :- because obviously it looks like a crude representation of a pairs of balls and a phallus. But then became a riff on other popular animal based turns of phrases of the day like the cat’s whiskers or the bee’s knees. Usually said by the better classes and not the hoi polloi (the masses aka the average person). Some say dog’s bollocks is basically the working class version of bee’s knees! Both a piss take and something pretty accurate! 😂

The thing with "nonce" as an insult is that there is actually a lot of people who do use it as an insult for when someone does something mildly objection, even though it's origins come from something deeply criminal

Tip was right there on the page half-way down time index 7:02

An aunt of mine used the word tinkle instead of pee as in "I must have a tinkle before we leave". 😊

We used to say Jimmy Riddle to rhyme with widdle and piddle!!

A place you take your larger quantities/sizes of rubbish is called the Amenity Tip. Normally a place with containers that you tip your rubbish into.

Never heard of an 'Amenity Tip' in my life! Maybe it depends on where you live.
