Arsed.
An expression of not giving a hoot, as in
"As in I couldn't be arsed to ring him."

Bloke.
Term used to describe a man. As in "Robbie Williams is a sexy bloke".
The English Middle Classes tend to use the word Bloke.

Chap.
Similar to Bloke, however persons using the word chap often have better breeding or more money, or both!

Fella.
As for Chap, except with less of the breeding and or money!

I hope these three are suitable for submission ...

Hmmmmmm......the "english middle classes" mainly died out in the 1940's defending the world from the Germans. The use of "bloke" is more usually from a lower socio-economic group than "chap" although in this libertine age everyone uses all these terms equally.

For my two pen'rth the word "homely" is incorrectly described - common usage is that a homely girl means "plain" or "ugly" ie left at home, and gets good at household chores because no one takes her out.

Your obediant servant etc

The English make fun of the Americans for their simple mindedness.
The Americans make fun of the English for their complexity which more often than not results in inefficiency as they are trying too hard to be different from the simpleminded Americans.
I'm not even going to mention Australia.
All of the examples I have read are either in common usage by Americans, completely rediculous or inefficient. As a matter of fact, some 90% of them can be described by a version of the word f#@* (Even though I am a minor I have to consider that minors will be viewing this). Thank god I was not born in a country which uses the english language

Any person in the UK knows that the "Class system" is long since dead.
The problem is, the rest of the world (including the dear old USA) thinks that, along with London Fog, we are still ruled by the "Class System". Which school did you go to ... did it have a tie, or a song ...

It's difficult to draw a symbol that shows that one's tongue is firmly in one's cheek in a text based system ...
Differences between USA and UK ...
In the UK 100 miles is a long way.
In the USA 100 years is a long time.

In the UK you only have to kneel on one knee when meeting the head of state

Some guy - if you despise the English language so much, don't write in it, and don't bother to post notes, as you grow up (if you do) you will learn humility and not to bother other people! As you are a minor, I shall avoid some of the more arcane and obtuse slang( inefficient!) and merely say "go away"

In the UK we don't regard our language as complex, we call it 'rich'. And if you think that f*** is OK to use in most situations then either you are deeply sad, or very poorly educated, or both. I'm not a prude. I'm all for using f*** in the correct context (i.e. when referring to sex), but it really annoys me to hear it used as an expletive, particularly when it comes every other word.

And we don't try to be different from the Americans. We are different (at least our language is) because of the different influences over the last 400 years or so. Some words will be in common usage because of 'cross-fertilisation' (e.g., by film and television) over the last 40 years or so.

And if your country doesn't use the English language, how am I able to read your contribution to this forum?

Re: arsed. Isn't this a mis-pronunciation of 'asked', as in 'I couldn't be asked to ring him'. (In this case 'asked' is pronounced with a long a - 'arsked'.)

Pisser: Toilet, or, mildly annoying incident. "Ah, man. That elephant falling on my truck was a pisser. I've got to buy a new one now".

Suss

Can be used in two senses.
1. To work out the solution to something, as in "Hah! Sussed it!"
2. To tumble to what someone else is coming from, as in "I've got you sussed"

Supposed to come from a controversial law that gave the police to pick up someone (usually a black someone, hence the controversy) merely on the SUSpicion that they might be doing something wrong.

Sorry, that should be '...WHERE someone else is coming from...'

Late submissions as I only registered today, you missed out on a couple of words:

Class (Act) meaning very good. Class coming from top class, or class act can many any variation on the greatest ever thing you have ever witnessed. E.g. I had a class night. The meal was pure class.

Pete Tong, It's all gone a bit - Cockney rhyming slang for things going pear-shaped using the name of a highly popular 1990's club DJ.

Crackin' - originally from the Irish craick - meaning essence of a good time, crackin' means the same thing, but more so.

We forgot the good old rat-arsed, and also soused, both of which mean drunk.
