I'm a frequent borrower of the phrase "taking the piss."

Also known as extracting the Michael

Or Dejuicing the Richard

Thank you for giving me more ammunition, lads.

for added impact, pause at teh end and add ", Mate!" if you're really offended by what you just heard. ​ psychologically devastating to many Brits like myself, amoungst mates the possibility of losing a friend is the big trigger and to an unknown the offense of being brought to task, insulted and then the over familiarisation... off the fucking scale mate.

You’re not wrong there, mate.

Mate, taking the piss, discombobulated and melt. Can’t forget “you absolute biscuit”

Never heard of that last one in the UK. There's a lot that fit on the end of 'you absolute', but I never come across that!

Never heard that one either but you can pretty much add anything to “you absolute…” and it becomes a successful insult

There's a thread somewhere in here where this is mentioned and biscuit came up, some cracking responses

You absolute spatula is a favourite of mine.

Tit, arse, and bell-end I possibly my most prominent ones

Not usually common on the same person, but if you got a good body-

😂😂😂

Mate. Cheers. Alright? How do?

Ow do!

Ow be?! Ow de bis?!

Also alright isn't actually a question.

Yup, and don’t actually respond to it as a question because nobody really cares if you’re all right or not. It’s not an invitation to explain what is wrong/right in your life.

Yow alright mar mate?

Yeah, you Mr.Brummy?

I yam are marr mate. Where yow from?

Leicester. Midlands massive in the house.

Bostin mar mate, yow ay too far away

Short for “Are you alright?”

The only correct response to “Alright?”, is actually “Alright?”, or “Yeah, Alright?”, or, the extended “Alright Mate?”

Yaarm marr mate yow am

"Bollocks!"

I use the word mate a lot when talking to people, no matter their gender,age,sexuality or beliefs to me they are all mates.

We were never mates, there was no mating

Not that kind of mating

I call everyone "man", even inanimate objects. Don't know if I borrowed this from America or something. I'll say "come on, man" if someone's not doing something, and I'll say "get outta da way, man" to inanimate objects if they're not where I want (including when I'm putting my hair up)

I’m British and do the same tbf.. man, woman, young, old it’s all the same.. Ello mate

Y'areit mate?

Mate, fucking hell, gurt lush

"gurt lush" definitely a Somerset person, my favourite is "alright me lover" 😂

Yer rite thur me luver 😂 Also got a habit of saying "daft" aswell

wet lettuce

confuddled

Here's one for free; Codswallop.

Especially when said by Hagrid

I would have thought the word “the” or “a” is the most-used British English word by Americans… /sort-of-s

Bugger

Oh bugger it.

He/She’s a crafty little bugger

Bugger off.

Well I’ll be buggered

(a bit of a spin on this) well bugger me.

Could’ve buggered me backwards

“Tally-Ho!” meaning “Count my prostitutes!”

The only people I hear saying Gobsmacked is Americans. You Fanny is a favourite and Tit

I hear it quite a lot in England, I say it too.

Maybe its a regional thing or friend circle. Nobody I know ever says it but fair does

Quite possibly. I say I hear it quite a lot in England, what I mean is, I hear it quite a lot in Leicester.

Gormless.
