Hank Marvin  = starving..need to eat .
Apple and paers = stairs

Bollocks = your  errs SACKS but ment as a term of negativity  i.e "oh bollocks!" .."your talking bollocks".."it's all bollocks" .."playing with his bollocks" or just plain and simple "BOLLOCKS"

"F" "B" & "C" we ashemedly have passed on.

Now the big secret....................... .......

TOSS/ER.. "you Tosser" "oh toss" "load of toss" "toss off"
WANK/ER "you W" "oh W" "load of W" "W off"
TWAT.."you T"  "what a T" "that's T-ish" "T-ed"<--to hit

To actually know when, where, and how to say these insults is a full on Brit thing.  It can make laughter or it can make black eyes.

It is all very vulgar and your "mum" would be ashamed.
To give it all away wouldn't be British of me.  

Bollocks is generally bad as Lynx says.
BUT - "The dogs bollocks" is a good thing

makeing a row- being very noisy.

Dunno where you heard that but it's bollocks matey (see above for definition of bollocks).

Making a racket means being very noisy.

Making a row.......doesn't mean anything.


Having a row means having an argument.
Also known as a barny.

What are these "trousers" you speak of?

[SELECTOR]

dont know what you may call them... pants i guess

Swoop beg to differ but "making a row" is being noisy, it depends on which part of UK your from.
LtPillur I'm originally from Wigan and now living here in Illinois.
Other slang terms that spring to mind are
Knackered   = very tired
Tart            = Slut
Fortnight     = 2 weeks
pillock         = same as earlier definitions of Bollocks

LtPillur Wigan dialect would make a good code most would never understand it !!

Never heard of making a row before, sounds suspiciously northern to me.

And a pillock is NOT the same as Bollocks.

A pillock is always said 'A' pillock, as in singular, as in someone with less than normal intelligence.  Bollocks are always referred to as plural cos (most) men have 2 and is not used in the same context.

LOL interesting thread!    Even here in the UK we have regional variations, such as the "making a row" example above.  Over the last 7 years since I started playing AW, I have had many occasions where I've said something in all innocence only to be told a particular word or phrase meant something completely different over there.  

One example was during the great AW scenario, Longbow.  I hadn't been playing long and didn't have the confidence to fly, but had a regular gunner spot for my squadmate, Spiff (Spiffy in AH).  I remember after one frame posting that I had finally "broken my duck"!  This was met with a lot of hilarious comments which were lost on me at first until someone finally told me that over there it meant I had lost my virginity!    Over here, it is a term (from the very British game of Cricket) meaning I had finally got a score.  In other words, I had got my first Kill!
