Jun 20, 2023 · Bagsy. Example sentence: ‘Bagsy the front seat!’ Bagsy is described as British and Australian children’s slang, but all of us are secretly big kids so it’s definitely used by adults too. Bagsy rules are the same as shotgun. If you shout bagsy before somebody else, that means you’ve claimed the right to something.
Dec 27, 2019 · Calling "bagsy" is the equivalent of calling "shotgun" or "dibs" when something, like the front seat of the car, is offered up to a group. Schoolkids might call "bagsy" on items from their...

The equivalent to shotgun in US English, this is what you say when you’re claiming something before everyone else, like the front seat of the car or the last scone (if you don’t know what a scone is, Google it and then sit in shame for a while. Then find a recipe for scones and make some).
Think you know how to order French fries in Britain? You’re wrong! In the UK we have a worryingly high number of words for different types of potato foods. We call French fries just fries, and thicker-cut fries that come from a chip shop are called chips. Then you’ve got thick, triangular chunks which we call potato wedges, which aren’t the same as...
If you’re really pleased or delighted about something, you’re chuffed. If you’re really delighted about something you can even be chuffed to bits. Chuffed used to mean ‘plump’, so I’m not sure why or how it now means delighted. Just roll with it.
When something’s questionable for suspicious, we call it dodgy. It’s a funky throwback to 1990s street slang and just fun to say.
When something’s made you unhappy or annoyed, you could say you’re miffed. This one might not be the coolest slang to use with the younger crowd, but they’d probably use something much more NSFW. Best to stay as polite as you can and use the PG13 version.
This one’s so common you can’t get by without knowing it. In the UK quid is slang for a one pound coin. Be careful to clearly pronounce any words before this that end in an ‘s’ because otherwise it’ll sound like you’re saying squid, which hilarious but inaccurate.
Want to study at a university in the UK? Make sure you’re calling it by the right name. In Britain, college means something totally different to what it means in the US, where it’s another word for university. UK colleges are for students aged between 16 and 18, who graduate from there to go to university, which is shortened to just uni. If you don...
Didn’t get into the uni you wanted to go to? You’re probably really disappointed and upset – otherwise known as gutted. Where this comes from is anyone’s guess, but it probably has something to do with the sad feeling you get in your gut when you’re upset.
Maybe you did get into your favorite uni, but you keep faking illness to get out of classes. Firstly, shame on you. Secondly, there’s a word for this and it’s called to skive. The ‘ski’ part is pronounced like sky not ski. Now get back to class!
Mar 26, 2011 · An expression I noticed recently was “Shotgun!“, as used as an exclamation to claim the front passenger seat of a car.
The slang phrase "Bagsy" means "to claim or stake a claim on something." It is similar to calling 'dibs' in American English. When someone says "Bagsy", they are asserting their right or priority to something, indicating that they want it or have the first claim on it.

Origin: From “barm”, meaning fermenting froth in beer-making, implying agitation. Usage: “You must be barmy to jump into that cold water!” Bee’s knees

Jul 8, 2017 · If you want to claim something as yours in advance, you could say that you 'bagsy/bagsie' something. This term is generally used by children: "I bagsie the front seat!" <- in the car. The speaker's brother then has to sit in the back, for example. "I bagsie the last piece of cake!"
