@Deadcutie Two possible answers for this. The first is that it is taken from the Latin Quid Pro Quo. Which basically means 'Something for something else' (as i understood it)
The second possibility is that may have been a reference to Quidhampton in Berkshire; England where it's believed the Pound note was printed at the time.

@Picklebobble2 yeah I think it's the second one, makes more sense

You must follow "innit" with "man". Example
A: "where u going?"
B: "I'm going shops innit man" 😁

@Deadcutie 🇬🇧 Rubbers = Erasers
Fags = Cigarettes
Deadcutie · 18-21, F
@Picklebobble2 yeah I know, they mean totaly difrent things here.. rubbers= condoms
Fags= not so nice way of calling someone gay

I thought rubbers were rain boots?

Lady mcguyver, mince pies, apples and pears

@Gangstress Oh that's 'Rhyming slang'. Used in London primarily on the markets or at the Docks.
Theory is it was developed so that the 'upper-class' bosses couldn't understand when the 'working-class' workers were talking about them !

Oh yeah, I love how they pronounce aluminum and jaguar

Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
@Elizabeth28 I think the term 'Feck' is Irish.
I know the first time i heard it was in a James Joyce novel.
