I love the Brits and their colorful slang

Wanker (one who masturbates)

Knock you up (come over to see you or call you on the phone)

Fag (cigarette) - Can you imagine my horror when I was in England as an impressionable youth taking my first ride in a taxi and the driver asks me if I want a fag?

Bonnet and boot of a car (hood and trunk)

And who decided that it was OK to hi-jack the word "gay" and turn it into a description of an alternative lifestyle? It was so much more fun to be gay and young way back when!
