One common pet phrase used throughout the country is “Alright?/You alright?”. This may 6 like the person is asking “How are you?”. The person 7 is asking isn’t necessarily hoping to hear about your day. To most British people, this distinction is 8 known, but non-Britons often mistake this greeting as “Are you OK?”.
9 common pet phrase is “I’m Hank Marvin.”, instead of 10 “I’m very hungry.”. It is cockney rhyming slang(同韵俚语)—a dialect spoken mainly in east London which replaces common words with rhymes. It 11 in the 1900s and is still used today. 12 you’re ever hungry on the streets of London, you might say to your friend, “Wow, I’m Hank Marvin. Let’s get 13 to eat.” Other phrases include “apples and pears”, which means stairs, and “jam jar”, which means the car.

Finally, a common pet phrase used by younger people is “bagsy”. It is a way to show 14 you want something saved for yourself. It’s similar to the American pet phrase “dibs”. “Who wants the last chocolate bar?” The first person to say “bagsy” would win it. On the other hand, if you say “Bagsy not me”, it means you don’t want 15 the bill.
So what are you waiting for? Hop in(快进入) your jam jar and join me for lunch in London. Bagsy on the bill!
