That is so true

[Dingbat]

Rachel, you a Brit?

[Priya]

We have awesome slang, even I don't know all of it. Like I only just found out what reem means.

[Dingbat]

Reem?

[Priya]

It means extremely good looking, drop dead gorgeous

[Dingbat]

...how's that? I'm not seeing a correlation...

Yes, I am But I wasn't born there and moved there when I was 11, so I found it so difficult to pick up the slang and just the lingo really.. I would just be there like 'What's a chav? What's a tosser?'

[Dingbat]

Oh, I know what those are thanks to Misfits

[Priya]

I dunno, it's from this show, it's like a new thing to call things reem now. I still use usual words though!

Ahh, that's MY kind of English, ruined and destroyed I love it! I always find it hard to remember that people don't understand what I say when I speak my lingo

[Dingbat]

How eloquent of you

[Priya]

It's much more interesting than RP dialect I think

[Dingbat]

RP dialect?

[Priya]

Received Pronunciation. The Queens English basically. Not many people in England actually have the accent and dialect as we all have regional variances of it (such as mine being a common accent with slang) only like 10-20% I think

Oh dear... I find a lot of Brtis sound the same. Probably because I'm not around enough of them to hear/know the difference.
