Friday Night Obligations

Normally, CDR-M has a cute video of an adorable canine companion. However, keeping with our UK Invasion theme, meet the Top 10 UK Dog Breeds. Four varieties of Setters didn't make the list.

English Expressions

There are many ways to learn a new language. One way to learn new vocabulary is to picture the word you wish to learn next to the word. Let's learn common U.K. Expressions and slang.

Bloody - used to emphasize almost anything, also bleeding or blooming
Duff - useless, junk, trash

Alright class, let's try to use these 2 words together in a sentence. David Cameron and Barack Obama are bloody duffs.

Yes class, they are a pair of bloody duffs.

Smashing - terrific

Let us use smashing in a sentence. Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan were smashing leaders of their respective countries.

Need to increase your vocabulary? Tired of American Slang? Here are the Top 10 British Slang terms.
