Khazi? Thats a new one to me.

If we go into slang, the list would be huge!

You're having a bubble?

I've completely lost track of this conversation. Please tell me these are all weird British words I'm not supposed to know...

They're using slang from various parts of the country. 'Scousers' are from Liverpool, although some Liverpudlians might not appreciate being called so. And then 'Geordies' are people from Newcastle. So basically they're using dialects.
If you weren't refering to that part of the conversation, forgive my little ramble.

@ Lar and JF: Love the list.

I was. Thank you. Didn't understand a word they were saying. Slang is difficult *nodnod*

I was using cockney rhyming slang, when I said 'bubble', it is derived from 'Bubble Bath', which rhymes with 'Laugh'.
So:
Your having a bubble = Your having a laugh!

I still have little knowledge of most slang, Its just i watch too many football hooligan films, and ones set in london, like snatch, and lockstock.

XD I didn't know bubble could mean laugh
Although, some of my friends from Madagascar used to change letters in words and stuff, so I should've at least figured it meant something other that bubble They actually made happy new year mean "I'm very hungry"...
