Slang to learn when studying in the UK

Everyone has been exposed to domestic dialects to some extent. Do British people have dialects? I don't know if there are any dialects, but their daily language is slang. There are many kinds of slang, among which Cockney Rhyming Slang is the most famous and imitated by foreign students. This slang is named after its origin in the East End of London. cockney (or Cockney) means "Londoner". The reason why traditional rhyming slang is not easy to imitate and learn is that sometimes the second word of each slang is omitted, or a phrase with the same rhythm as a word is used to replace the word.

It is difficult for ordinary people to understand such a complicated change because one of the original purposes of slang is to keep secret and use it in prisons, military and other places. Another important function is to make it easier for everyone to curse the street and say it more smoothly and with more momentum.

With the evolution of the times, some phrases and expressions have been used to this day, and many new generation slang words have been continuously supplemented, and then a more systematic slang collection has been obtained. Next, I will introduce some slang words that are often heard in the streets and lanes.
