The Gym!

[pendo]

I joined back at the gym today. Had a proper boss work out. I'm so glad to be going back there, hopefully it wont be too long before I'm back in shape.

That's great.

But what's a boss work out?

[pendo]

"Boss" is a local slang word meaning 'very good'. So I had a good workout - lots of sweat, pushed myself hard, etc, etc...

Ah, well that's great.

Damn, our schools should teach more slang.

Well there are so many different regional dialects and slang words here in Britain that it would be impossible to teach you them, otherwise you would speak an English that was a miss-mash of all different regions. Slang words used up here in Liverpool may mean something completely different (if used) down in London (e.g. "Boss" means 'very good' here in Liverpool, but in certain parts of England (mainly down south and the midlands) it can mean 'Mate/Friend').

I speak Scouse (the local dialect for Liverpool) and here's a dictionary of some of our slang words: http://scousedictionary.blogspot.com

I just read some of that dictionary and all I can say is WOW.

I didn't know there were so many different dialects.
