brassed off -
Rating:0.5
If you are brassed off with something or someone, you are fed up. similar to American English "Pissed off" "Pissed off" isn't American - it's
British. When Americans are angry,
they are 'pissed' - which is
confusing, because that means 'drunk'
in British English. [Comment by: Ralph Liam Rated:3/5 ]
We (Americans) use "pissed" or "pissed
off," actually. I hear "pissed off" more
often then simply "pissed." Or, "ticked
off" which is a slightly cleaner
version. [Comment by: Kristen ]
Americans use "pissed off" all the time,
as in "I'm just pissed off today!" There
is also "piss off" to mean "go away" or
"get lost." Not very nice, though. [Comment by: ohnoone ]
Or we could all get "pissed" on a bottle
of wine. [Comment by: Michelle ]
Nope, not all of us. "Pissed" never
means drunk in the
US (nor, I presume, in Canada).
Of course, "piss off" meaning "go away"
is common on
both sides of the pond. [Comment by: Jim ]
listening to you bitch about it is
pissing me off [Comment by: cat ]

bethan kt aimee and kimbaluxx [Comment by: katie Rated:1/5 ]
Acually "nards" is quite the popular
term for testicles amongst the
elementary school kids - from my friend,
an elementary school teacher. [Comment by: jane ]
Don't know wth nards are but nads is
pretty common for gonads, i.e.
testicles, in all English speaking
countries. [Comment by: Gretchen ]
"Wolfman got nards!" from the movie
"Monster Squad." A great movie and the
most well known saying from the movie.
After reading loads of comments about

authenticity, as a resource for people
to learn British slang thank you very
much. [Comment by: J D Rated:3/5 ]

evat/ nice? wtf is a newt ... common or
spotted? [Comment by: james ]
isn's a newt a kind of lizard? [Comment by: Mr. X ]
A newt is a kind of lizard/salamander. [Comment by: Hongroise ]
a newt is a small amphibious lizard
shaped creature that lives in areas with
lots of moisture but rarely living in
submersion for long periods of time
unless you count the mud puppies they
pretty much live in water full time.....
anyways they are a close relative to
the salamander in fact i think one is a
subspecies of the other but i cant
remember right now.... but yes its a
small slimy lizard looking thing. [Comment by: camon ]

My understanding was that a pongo was a
naval term for any soldier (infantry or
otherwise). [Comment by: Phil Towend ]
In the Royal Air Force Regiment (circa
1949) a
"Pongo" was a slang term for an
ex-Indian Army
Officer - some of whom had transferred
in to Regiment
following the demise of the Indian Army. [Comment by: John Gardner ]
This originated as a nineteenth century
Royal Navy jibe at the Army, derived
from "where the Army goes, there the
pong goes". The Army in the field
lacked much in the way of bathing
facilities for obvious reasons, so the
jibe was probably justified much of the
time. [Comment by: Bruce Haithwaite ]
Lovely, but what does it mean? [Comment by: Brian Rated:3/5 ]

Rich and white? Why does someone have to
be rich and WHITE to be preppy? [Comment by: Anonymous Rated:1/5 ]
yeah really why you have to be white and
rich .. RACISIT!!! [Comment by: non ur business ]
I wonder if you'd be so offended if
someone defined a 'homeboy' as a black
urban youth-y'know, the prep definition
just happens to be historically
accurate,so just b/c a person describes
something that certain people have
generally not been a part of, but- it
seems from your reply-you WISH they had
been a part of, doesn't make them a
racist. Take it easy, for Pete's sake. [Comment by: Prep school grad ]
well i certainly agree. i know lots of
preppy people and they are all white.
but it's a fact and it doesnt make me
racist. most people do assume preppies
do be white people. [Comment by: Luna Halkett ]
