LOCAL BIRMINGHAM SLANGS.


Every place has some kind of local lingo. Birmingham has one too which i find very strange.

Cheers- no it`s not the cheers you do before gulping your drink down. Cheers here means thank you.

Tha- you`ll never guess in a zillion years what that stands for. It`s thank you. Tha as in short for thank you. now how lazy do you have to be? so much for the actual english way of greeting people.
Here`s another one......... you alright?????? That`s how everyone greets everyone. of course I am alright you moron. What makes u think I am not. How do u reply to the strange greeting???????? You throw the same thing back at the person. so this is how any conversation starts in Birmingham.
Person A" you alright?" person B "you alright?"

Taking a piss. na it`s not you attending to natures` call. it`s you being pissed or annoyed by someone.

It hasn`t been a very long time since i`ve been in birmingham. so keep lookin` at this column. there might be few more interesting phrases coming along. till then adios.
