Hickledy Pickledy and Tickity Boo (this is getting long, scroll down- Lee's additions are in red.)

This an actual phrase that people in the UK use. And not as a joke! It means something that is sort of slapped together or random. That was the meaning I extracted from it anyways.

Tickity Boo = Lee told me about this and gave me the context:

L "She was like, ill just review the contract and make sure it's all tickity boo."

Haberdashery is also a word (proof below!). It means things that have to do with sewing and crafts. I had to ask some British friends what it meant. They laughed.















Here are some more British/UK sayings:
Are you alright? = How are you/can I help you?
It's okay = You're welcome
Lary = Obnoxious/loud/aggressive
Lift = Elevator
Rubbish= garbage
Tidy = neat
Hob = stove top
to key = press a button
Fancy = like/want
Loo/toilet = bathroom (obviously, but they don't say bathroom or restroom)
Chips = fries (thanks for reminding me Jim! I've gotten used to that one!)
Crisps = potato chips, or any chips.
Cheers = Hi, Bye, Thanks, You're welcome. Like the British Shalom!
Get tucked in = dig in (as in food. This may be Scottish but others knew what she meant and I did not).

More from Lee:

Buggy/pram = stroller

dummy= pacifier

Nappies = diapers

Hard shoulder = "the side of the road"

Dipped headlights = high beams

Corgettes are zuchinni
to book in is to make an appointment
anesthetist = anesthesiologist
trainers are sneakers

and this next one is my (Lee's) FAVORITE
to do "keep fit" is to work out - "keep fit" is a noun
they aren't keeping fit they are going to do keep fit and some guy at a party actually asked me if i like keep fit, cause he enjoys his keep fit with a trainer every weekend.

Urinal is pronounced Ur-I-nal. Okay, it's the same word but it sounds a lot different when they say it. Also, when someone said 'aluminum' it took me about 3 minutes to know what he meant and it was in a metal workshop, which is the only reason I figured it out. I can't even say it again in the same accent.
