We talk new vocabulary words and regional differences occasionally here, like I'm pretty chuffed about my new soap!

Yesterday I learned two more. I play this online word guessing game called Wordle. I was really stumped yesterday and just started putting in random letters to get the game over with. It will only accept real words. Well it actually accepted 'chook' and 'chowk'! Evidently chook is a thing in Australia. Just wondering if our Australian and New Zealand friends could enlighten us?
 
I loved some of the UK slang when I was over there.
Something is 'pants' when it sucks. Like "I went to that new coffee shop today and it was really pants."
Something is mingin' (minging - rhymes with singing) when it stinks or is really yukky or rotten. My friend and I got into an elevator at the train station once, and someone has clearly used it as a urinal. She said "Yuk, it's really mingin' in here!". You can also be a 'minger' if you are really ugly or dirty or gross.
You can call someone a 'bell end' which quite literally means '****' ( the end of a man's appendage).


ETA: Oh - I see I'm censored above^. That is the short name for someone called Richard.

Well, this thread led nowhere BUT am glad to see a little scandal in the forum that called for some censorship! ;) So best wishes getting settled in to your new home and most importantly, have you unpacked your SOAP SUPPLIES?!
