the final 'words the british think i don't know' post, in honor of england's world cup loss
weather: ☀️ have mercy
critters: cats
this is the last part of a series (part 1, part 2) of words the british think i don't know. it's brief because i have now run out of words
spliff. intelligible, but i've never heard anyone under 50 say it. our englishes seem to be on different timelines in different directions
suss out. fully didn't know this was british
bespoke. am i the only one who remembers the broke/woke/bespoke meme? i'm pretty sure black twitter invented that
twee. the word definitely sees use here, but i think british kitsch is more twee than american kitsch on average
spunk. in the crude sense. don't worry, we americans have many names for cum, including this one
✨ bonus!!! oasis. this is the inverse of all previous entries: a term i have to think about for a second before i remember it's a band. i may be revealing pedestrian radio tastes here (i was not a baby music head in the 90s and i am not an adult music head now) but oasis struck me as a one-hit wonderwall until i met some british people online and they talked like it was the biggest fucking band on the planet. sure! maybe this is a red hot chili peppers situation actually
