Some British words
Bloke - man, guy. "Can you see that bloke wearing an Adidas sportswear over there?"
Fag - cigarette (DON'T use the word "fag" in America because it means something completely different across the pond!). "Gimme a fag, mate"
Fancy - want. "Do you fancy a pint?"
Mate - friend. "Alright, mate!"
Quid - pound. "Can you borrow me 20 quid?" (this is a delibirate mistake in the sentence, people often confuse "lend" and "borrow", the correct sentence would be "Would you mind lending me 20 British Pounds, dear sir?")
