      Feeling: burnt out.

We may be united in many ways and both speak 'English', but the language barrier is still evident as I've found in several conversations with my American friends so here are translations of some of our more quirky Brit-speak.
More to follow, so be warned...


Ace
- brilliant

Any road - anyway

Barmy - mad

Bees Knees - fabulous

Belt up - "shut up!" [be quiet]

Bender - heavy drinking session

Best of British - "good luck!"

Bite your arm off - Do anything to get something ["I'd bite your arm off for that new dress"]

Blow me - "I'm extremely surprised!"

 

Chivvy along
- hurry someone/something up

Cock up - a mistake

Codswallop - talking rubbish/baloney ["what a load of codswallop"]

Daft - silly ["Don't be daft!"]

Dishy - good looking [person]

Doddle - easy [to do]

Dog's dinner - [make a] real mess of something

Donkey's years - for ages
["I haven't seen you in donkey's years!"]

Om Namah Shivaya...
Couldn't resist this gorgeous 'healing bangle' I found on the Ancient Roots site so I'm just waiting for it to arrive and change my life ;)
The Om Namah Shivaya mantra is said to liberate the mind and bring peace & tranquility to the chanter.
The literal translation of the ancient Indian Sanskrit text is "I honour the self within me".
I also found this cool site on my travels which has lots of my fave new age stuff
