| It means enough said by the way, basically the shortened version. In my country it is very common to use shortened words. I use it and since Jane is originally from the same country as me, she uses it quite a lot naturally. If you do not understand any British slang or words, just ask me. | |

| Your English is very good Uboika. Most foreign members here are familiar with the American version even though I do know some of it as well since there is a lot of Americanism is my country's media such as Hollywood. The British English version is very similar to the American one but uses a lot of strange, unfamiliar words and some of their words are different.
If you ever come across these in any of my messages or even Jane's, here is what they mean.
Knackered - tired. Gobbledegook - nonsense. Malarkey - fiasco or incident. | |

| XAXAXAXA I AM IN HYSTERICS HERE!!!!
Nuff Said is a term I use all the time and yes... I was gobsmacked to see this on Saki's latest twitter post.
I posted a pic of Sakis on twitter after his concert at Megara and my only comment to the pic was " I adore you.... Nuff Said "
I meant to ask him where the hell he came up with that one - it is just NOT something a greek would say and it amused me sooooo much!
Im afraid that I use A LOT of slang words and expressions so.... if you dont understand something I post...please dont be afraid to ask. It just comes matural to me and I forget that its not correct!! looool Sorrrrrry! | |
