In this lesson, you will be introduced to English street slang, an informal kind of vocabulary that is common among young people in the UK. This kind of speech can often be overheard in conversations on the streets of London, on public transit, and in movies. These words and expressions are not appropriate to use in polite conversation, but they are fun to learn and useful to know in order to understand popular culture. In this video, you will learn the meaning of “pattymouth“, “sket“, “blud“, “wagan“, and many more. Do you know any street slang words that I don’t mention? Watch this video, and comment below!
