- gobsmacked autre orthographe
-
Completely and utterly shocked, as if someone slapped you in the mouth (‘gob’) with pure surprise. British people adore this word because it allows them to feel dramatic without raising their voice.
“I was gobsmacked when the bus actually arrived on time.”

- plastered autre orthographe
-
Another glorious British level of drunk — beyond tipsy, beyond merry, into full ‘phone has been lost, dignity has evaporated’ territory. If you’re plastered, someone will film you singing badly.
“We got plastered at the pub quiz and still came last.”
- daft autre orthographe
-
A soft, gentle insult meaning stupid but in a ‘bless your heart’ British way. Someone daft isn’t harmful, just… missing a few software updates. Ideal for friends who lock their keys inside the car while the engine’s running.
“Don’t be daft, of course the train’s late.”
- bloke autre orthographe
-
Classic British word for a man — usually the kind who’ll fix your sink, complain about the weather, and ask if the footie’s on with the same tone used for asking about a relative’s surgery. A bloke isn’t fancy, isn’t posh, and definitely isn’t explaining his feelings, but he’ll hold the door for you and pretend it was no big deal.
“Some bloke at the pub said my coat looked ‘proper dodgy’.”
- ok boomer okay boomer autre orthographe
-
A dismissive reply younger people use when an older person drops a take that sounds stuck in a black-and-white TV era. It’s not about literal age as much as mindset: ignoring climate issues, mocking protests, or acting like college still costs $300. “Ok boomer” is basically the polite version of “your worldview expired three updates ago.”
“Just work three jobs and stop complaining about rent.” “Ok boomer.”
