brassed off -
GB
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    ]

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.

Pongo
GB
Rating:0.8  
Infantryman of British army
"he was a pongo"
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 ]

preppy
GB
Rating:0.2  
sylish in a rich white way, like the rich boys that go to "prep school"
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    ]
