British words
Merriam-Webster's two top ten lists of favourite British words made me smile (List 1 and List 2).
I use most of these regularly, except for dogsbody, shambolic and boffin, which I use occasionally, and jiggery-pokery and chunter which I use almost never.
Isn't language a wonderful thing?
Prat
Twee
Knackered
Jiggery-pokery
Plonk
Chunter (not to be confused with 'chunder'!)
Whinge
Gormless
Boffin
Pukka
Dodgy
Shirty
Chuffed
Peckish
Stroppy
Dogsbody
Shambolic
Wonky
Bollocks
Hard cheese
