Thread for bamboozling Americans with British slang

[Guest]

So the plumber goes, "Bob's yer uncle", and me khazi was fixed! I give him a tenner and he trundled off down the lane. I say to me Missis, "I'm off for a pint with the lads, luv," and she turns around and goes, "Sod off I'm not your wife!" and so I go off down the lane.

"Gordon Bennet!" says me neighbour - he's digging a hole in his front garden. I pop me head over the fence and he's struggling to shift some dirt. "Give it some wellie!" I tell him. "I'm bloody shattered, Tel," he says. He's a grotty fella, but he's not a backhanded batsman, like.

Eh?
