From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

British slang covers a large area and includes regional slang which, in turn, has localised variances and unique terminologies.

[edit] Spelling

Slang naturally has no fixed orthography, and is written as whatever comes readily to mind. This generates confusion with readers who do not pronounce letters the same way.

One particular concerns the letter "r". British slang assumes that this letter isn't emphatically pronounced, hence others cannot comprehend what is intended.

• erm um
• nur nah
• larf (as an exaggeration) (no change from laugh)
