Random British Slang

Baccy - Tobacco. The sort you use to roll your own

Brill - Short for "brilliant". Used by kids to mean cool.

Dishy - If someone is a bit of a dish or a bit dishy it means they are attractive or good looking.

Porridge - Doing porridge means to serve time in prison. There was also a comedy TV series called Porridge about a prisoner starring Ronnie Barker of The Two Ronnies fame.

Splash out - If you splash out on something - it means you throw your senses out the window, get out your credit card and spend far too much money. You might splash out on a new car or even on a good meal.
