I like to learn about words from around the world and use them in my speech. I have a particular love for British words. I just love words like spiv, nod, wasteman, barmy, slapper, bruv, lezza, shafted, nonce, junkie, bint, smackhead, nutter, slag, breve, chav, squiffy, slaphead, looney/loon, bender, and dosh.

    I spend more time speaking English than my native language.

      More people speak English as a second language than people speak English as a first/native language, so you’re in the majority!

        Of course. My work and my friends are quite international is all. With my family I speak my native tongue.
