Jason & the Argot-nauts

British slang phrases I love and would like to adopt:

argy-bargy
bender
builder
bullocks
chav
fit
gear
gobshite
innit
lad
nick
pissed
poofter
ponce
posh
pull
rubbish
knackered
nob
sod
slag
slapper
snog
skint
taking the piss
toff
tosser
trainers
twat
wanker
yob

Basically all my knowledge of Brit talk comes from Shameless & Skins. I think if I actually moved to England I'd be terribly disappointed if everyone didn't talk like they were some trashy Manchesterer (ite?)... but there's no need to worry because that's how everyone over there talks, right?
