BRITISH SLANGS FOR IELTS (Part 17)

• Gen up - To research a subject or to get some information.

• Get lost! - Politely translated as go away, this is really a mild way of telling someone to f*** off!

• Get stuffed! - Even politer way to tell someone to get lost is to tell them to get stuffed. However, this is still not a nice thing to say to someone.

• Give us a bell - This simply means call me. You often hear people use the word "us" to mean "me".

• Gobsmacked - Amazed. Your gob is your mouth and if you smack your gob, it would be out of amazement.

• Good value - This is short for good value for money. It means something is a good deal.

• Goolies - If you have been kicked in the goolies, your eyes would be watering and you would be clutching your balls!

• Gormless - A gormless person is someone who has absolutely no clue. You would say clueless. It is also shortened so you could say someone is a total gorm or completely gormy.

• Grem - The form of gob meaning to spit something out. e.g. Did you see him grem? Yuck. Usually associated with that ghastly noise as the content of the lungs are coughed into the mouth before gremming can take place. Grem is also the word that describes the green lump that is created in the process. You might call it hacking up a hacker.
