bun-fight: social gathering with food
get off the grass: exclamation of disbelief; equivalent to "stop pulling my leg", "get outta here", and "no way"
give your ferret a run: have sex
guts for garters: in big trouble; as in "I'll have your guts for garters!"
piece-of-piss: easy as in "that was a piece of piss to make".
piss: beer, as in "get on the piss"*
pissed: drunk, inebriated
pissed-off: angry, as in "I'm really pissed off!"
pissing down: raining heavily
piss around: waste time or effort in a futile manner a.k.a. fart about
piss-up: social gathering with alcohol
sparrow fart: very early in the morning - the crack of dawn.
sticking plaster: band-aid
two sammies short of a picnic: used to describe a person who is a "bit thick".
