A friend of mine gave me a stack of flashcards of funny english terms/phrases.
One was Codswallop, which means garbage or nonsense, as in 'that's a lot of codswallop!'
Another: "her majesty's pleasure" = doing time in prison
"Yonks" = ages
"splash out" = spend a lot of $
and my personal fave:
"spend a penny", one of many funny phrases for using the toilet;)
The joke will be on me if I'm throwing these terms around and they're....wrong!
I'd be embarrassed for yonks.
