British Slang
Would have been worth the money if you didn't have to turn the page one-by-one...
Good show
Well done

A good app, and the meanings are right. Only old London cockney people will understand this and if your from anywhere else... Well too bad. It is correct and nearly all my friends use these words. We look through and laugh about the odd few we don't know like berk lool. Watch the film 'attack the block' then get the app because it is the same jafakin and London cockney.

Slang bang on
There was only one word my partner and myself did not recognise in the flashcards, as a whole its a small variety of slang words compared to what we use in different regions, cockney alone is it's own language! But they were correct and if in doubt there is always urbandictionary dot com for you non believers for alt. Translations, the flashcards could go on forever if developed :-)

The low raters...
Are total spongles. Yes that's right they're on crack. I've just had a good immature chuckle scrolling through these. I'm 30 and from S London / Kent. Seriously no ambiguous ones here, all very valid! I think there was honestly only 3 I'd never heard of, shank, wasteman and yes the infamous spongle! Room for improvement would include page numbers, more additions and added descriptions where words have multiple meanings, eg bugger and b0llocks etc.

Well
I agree, it's not the greatest designed app in the world, and there are a limited number of words to read. However, they are accurate and I don't understand reviews where people are saying they've never heard of 90% of the slang featured. I wouldn't even particularly say they're old fashioned either-they're just basic (often rude) slang terms used in England. download and judge for yourself (although chances are you'll delete straight after as it is a fairly limited app)

Not bad!
Despite the incorrect reviews, 95% of these are used in my local boozer. I would have used slightly different descriptions for about half a dozen of them too but on the whole it's pretty close. To the moaners, why download it if you think you already know every slang word in England and then slag it off for telling you some you don't know? Gaffer has always meant boss and is still used round here.

WOW LOL so bad
I downloaded this app only after reading the reviews about how terrible it is and... Wow. It is so bad. I'm English myself and as a young, 19 year old from London, I can guarantee about 10% of these are right. The rest, nonsense. Bugger doesn't mean what it says it does. Maybe about 80 years ago but not today. Gaffer means dad, not whatever this app says. Someone pay me to make an app like this And I'll teach u proper English slang. Lol this is a joke. If u came to England and tried to use most of these in conversation u wud be battered (english for beaten up)
