In Australia paki was considered a nickname for the pakistani cricket team hell i remember it being used in advertising for the one day game etc.

[Millefleur]

Git is a British thing too, except here a git is more usually a bastard than an idiot.

Hence my 'gits', who are actual bastards

'Weegie' it sort of means thieving junkie scum...

Normally spotted around here because of their socks over the top of their track suits . When not found actually thieving they are often trying to sell you random pills they took out of the pensioner's sheltered housing they robbed last night or stolen Gillette razors . They tend to spit a lot (it's a nervous condition, linked to fear ) and if surprised will often drop to one knee ,this should never be taken as a genuflection they are trying to grab the sharpened terminal screwdriver in their sock .


Oh and I think it's great that Hades doesn't know Pakki is a racist term

Well, I've got it now. But I still have never heard it used by an American. I'm not sure why.

Maybe Americans don't distinguish Pakistani people from Indian people?

Wheare are you from exactly already? I heard "cut" in Irish context (from songs about the "navigators" who did all the major public works in Victorian times), but all the others are completely new to me.

Certainly yes, but Feck is closer to the spirit of the word than the letter. For example "lower weegie" is a nasal tonal dialect approximating a sequence of vowels, unintelligible by humans except for their verbal punctuation which mimics the words fuck, man, the phrases "I know" or "know what I mean" and various colloquial descriptions of male or female genitalia.

I'm from Wigan, but they're all pretty common words throughout Lancashire.
