Colloquialisms: UK style

SKANK
(adj) trashy, low class, football hooligan. In America, we say white trash.



Usage:
Friendly Brit: “No matter what, don’t travel to Brownsover. They’re all a bunch of Skanks."



Me: “A bunch of what?"



Brit: “Skanks. You know…how do you say it in America? Oh. White trash. Football hooligans, the whole lot of them."



Me: “Ah yes of course, silly me."



Glenn: “Brownsover? Isn’t that where you took us yesterday? We ate in the park."



Me: “Oops."
