English.

And welcome to another lesson.

So about a month ago, I made a video on I was teaching you some useful British English phrases on It had really good reaction.

So I thought today, why not do the same thing again?

I'm going to give you some mawr, some or useful phrases which you will hear a lot.

There's some slang terms in here on.

There's also some phrases.

So here's five for you will start with number one.

So number one is peckish.

Now, this you might have heard before.

We say a lot in England on it means to be slightly hungry.

Not really hungry, just slightly hungry.

So I could say to you, I'm feeling a little bit peckish.

Do you have any chocolate, for example on That just means I'm feeling a little bit hungry.

Do you have some chocolate?

Do you have you know, anything?

Any kind of food?

Eso if you're a little bit hungry.

Not starving, but just hungry.

You could say that you're feeling peckish.

Number two, we've got fortnight.

This is used a lot, especially in business English.

If I've ever got any business English students.

I will usually say this and teach them this word Fort Night, and it's a very common British slang term it Islam on, but it is used in a professional manner.

A lot of the time on basically a fortnight is two weeks.

It's a period off two weeks, so 14 days is a fortnight.

So let's say I'm going on a holiday for two weeks.

I could say I'm going on holiday for a fortnight or if I've taken some time off work, I could say I'm taking leave from my work for a fortnight.

I have a fortnight off work.

So fortnight that's another one for you.

And that is a British phrase.

If you said that in America wouldn't be quite the same, I don't think they really know what we're talking about.

Number three.

We've got skint.

This is a good word.

I enjoy hearing.

This word in England is not a good word.

It's not something you want to be saying yourself.

If you're skint, it basically means if you're skint, you're without money, you don't have money or you don't have very much money.

Let's say your friend has asked you out for dinner, you're going for a meal together or something.

You could say Sorry, I can't make it.

I can't come to dinner with you.

I'm absolutely skint.

And that would just mean I haven't got enough money to come out with you.

You could say I don't have enough money.

But if you want to sound more British, use a bit more kind of British lingo than you could say.

I'm skint.

So it's just one that I thought I would give you in case somebody says it to you.

Number four.

We've got cheeky.

I also like this word.

We use it a lot with kids, but it's not just something we say for kids.

If you're cheeky, then you're kind of doing something rude, but not really rude.

It's kind of charming at the same time.

Kind of interestingly, intriguingly rude or naughty, we might say So.

For example, let's say, let's say, without a kid, a kid is always cheeky, they might say a comment, which is rude but is sweet at the same time.

But I'm going to give you one in an adult situation.

Let's say I've got a friend on this friend is very rich.

He's got lots of money, I wish, but he's got lots of money, and I could say to him, You've got loads of money.

It wouldn't hurt you just to give me maybe a few pounds on.

That's a cheeky comment.

That's me saying why you've got loads of money.

Why can't you give me some?

It's just a cheeky comment and he might reply and say, Don't be so cheeky or he might just say That's cheeky.

And that's just how we would use the word cheeky.

It's quite a common one.

Like I said, especially with kids.

They're full of cheeky comments.

Number five is fancy now.

There's a lot of different ways we use the word fancy.

When I was preparing this lesson and I thought about the word fancy, first thing I thought about was, when you fancy someone, if you are a boy or a girl and you fancy someone say you say to them, I fancy you, that would mean that you find them attractive.

Maybe you like them.

It's something used more by younger people, but you might hear it in movies.

You might hear it in different situations but I wouldn't worry about using it in this way.

But you could also use the word fancy by saying Fancy a drink.

Let's say that I was inviting a friend out to go for a drink, maybe for a beer.

Let's say we're going to go to the pub and drink some beer.

I could say, Do you fancy a beer on?

That's just like saying, Do you want to come out with me and grab a beer?

Have a beer to drink?

Also, let's say we have a menu at our table.

Were having a meal together?

I could say, What do you fancy?

Or does anything take your fancy on?

This is like saying, Is there anything you want from the menu?

Do you like the look of anything?

What are you going to buy?

What do you fancy?

So it's two different ways of using the word fancy on.

Something can also be fancy on.

That means it's quite posh, Quite cool.

For example, let's say I was wearing a smart suit, A really nice suit.

Nice watch, Cem rings.

I was looking quite rich and quite powerful.

Someone would say, Oh, you look fancy on That would mean, you know, you're looking smart.

You're looking rich and posh, so that's three different ways of using the word fancy.

So there you go.

There's another five.
