Okay, I have a cold in
September, which actually

but I'm here and I'm ready
to do the lesson with you.

so I tried to make
myself look all summery,

ready for the summer that
I didn't have this year.

Today I thought I would
do a video about some

British slang phrases,
expressions, and idioms.

So today I'm going to give
you a lovely long list

of phrases that I've thought of recently.

Some of them are going
to be quite informal,

so you might not want to
use them in English exams,

but if you're visiting the UK or America,

but many of these are relevant
for American English as well.

I'm just gonna call them
British English expressions

to make sure that anyone
who wants to learn

British English knows that
this video will help them.

Quickly before we get started, I just want

to thank the sponsor of
today's video, italki.

Italki is on online
database full of native,

non-native language
teachers, and you can book in

for private one-on-one
lessons, and it's a great way

of getting corrected
conversation practise if you

don't have access to a
private teacher where you are.

You can get lessons 24-seven,
every day of the year,

every hour of the day,
anywhere in the world,

as long as you have an
Internet connection.

And they have given me a special
discount to pass on to you.

You can get a buy one,
get one free on lessons.

Sign up, make your
first purchase, and then

within 48 hours, they
will manually add that

Now, the first phrase is
something that I might have

mentioned in a previous
video, but I feel like

it's really important,
and extra important,

not in professional or
educational situations,

but maybe around friends
and perhaps family.

To be knackered means you're
exhausted or really tired,

and this is a phrase
that I use all the time.

with an Italian guy, and
he said to her after work,

And naked obviously means
you have no clothes on,

so I just want to reiterate the fact that

You don't want to go telling
people you're absolutely naked.

she did correct him very
nicely, so good on her.

If you are skint, you are in
a poor financial situation.

"Do you want to go to the cinema tonight?"

I'm in a really difficult
financial situation

and oh my god, I had to use
that phrase so frequently
