Quick! Your mate just suggested getting pizza for dinner. How do you respond (assuming you like pizza, of course)?

​

A) "That's a jolly good idea."
B) "Smashing good plan!"
C) "Good shout!"

​

If you picked C, congratulations – you're thinking like a true Brit! But if you went with A or B, don't worry. That's exactly what today's lesson is all about.

​

British people don't talk like textbooks.

​

When we want tea, we say "I'm gasping for a brew." When something's unacceptable, it's "bang out of order." These are the phrases that'll make you sound more British, not someone using British phrases they learnt from watching American television (spoiler alert: we really don’t say ‘jolly’ all that often!).
