A few days ago I was watching reply videos on youtube. An American girl made a video called "emo/scene kids suck" and one of the replys was from a British girl who asked why she was taking their piss out. I had no idea what that meant... I'm assuming that it means to talk bad about someone.

What are some other slang words and terms that the British use?

I imagine it was "Stop taking the piss outta them" ?

It's just more british slang, a more agressive way of telling a person to stop being mean to people.

There are soooooo many Scottish ones but they are only really understood in Scotland, a couple of examples being:

Hud yer weesht ~ Be quiet

Awa an bile yer heid ~ Get lost / Go away

Scunnered ~ Disgusted (but can also just mean bored or fed up)

Regular ones, that I can think of include:

Come a cropper ~ If something didn't end well

Banjoed ~ Drunk

Chips with everything ~ Monotony / boring

Daft as a brush ~ Stupid

Answers on a Postcard ~ Let me know your thoughts / ideas

Keep your hair on ~ Calm down

Keep your pecker up ~ Keep smiling

There are loads more, I just can't think of them just now ;)

Gonna go see a man about a dog - Going to see someone

I always thought this meant to go to the toilet.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=see+a+man+about+a+dog

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=see%20a%20man%20about%20a%20horse

Seems to refer to going somewhere that you don't want to discuss, often the toilet/bathroom.

The use of the word "piss" is a weird one.

Pissed = angry in the US

Pissed = drunk in the UK (pissed as a newt)

Pissed off = annoyed in the UK

Take the piss = make fun of in the UK

"Piss off" = go away

Pissing down = raining

Many different uses for one word. Slang is strange, urbandictionary.com can be very useful.

'Forget happiness I'm fine, I'll forget everything in time'

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
