Do people in England still say PHWOAR when they're talking about sexy times, or did that die out in the early part of the decade? (I had a subscription to a really trashy British woman's magazine in 2001 that was a gift from a friend in Leeds)

Jokes. This thread is boomting. Imitation Of Chris wrote: Pocksy nonsense. Hey, it's POXY. Y'know, riddled with smallpox? Merked! guy burgess wrote: Is it blud? seen.
Allow it man. Get me?
This one was also popular when i was around London...
"butters" meaning a person is ugly. Specifically - ugly in the face, but with a nice body. It comes from butterface, as in "nice body, but her face......"

Ayup me duckies.
I went downtown before but there was no coriander, couldn't get any for love nor money. Loads of paracetamol though. It was right nesh out too, you could see your breath and everything.
Now I don't know what to have for me tea.
