Dont forget it's not "white trash" its "white rubbish" over there. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Don't really use the "white" label much in the UK, unless you're a skinhead with British Movement ties.
"Scum" would be a more suitable word, or "council scum", "council estate scum".
Another useful tip is that the word "tosser", while sometimes used as an insult, often just means "good buddy". So when someone buys you a pint, it is best to say something like "Thanks tosser", "You're a great big tosser".
Wanker is another word with double meaning, as it is often used as a greeting among friends. So when you meet someone, just say somethi9ng like "Alright wanker" or "even just a simple "Wanker" will suffice.
Telling females they have a "Cute fanny" will win you no end of friends of the fairer sex too.
When you meet anyone from the South, especially London, it is polite to offer them a drink, a half pint of shandy would be the prefeerred beverage. If it is not appropriate to drink right then, just let them know that you'll buy them a shandy later.
Likewise, when you meet someone from the North, enquiring about their whippet or pigeons will create an instant bond between you.
When in pubs late at night, it is customary to announce midnight with the call, "You are all a bunch of wankers", this works doubly well if you add Northern or Southern in front of the wankers, depending on where you are..
Just remember these easy simple words and use them often and you will be fine; wanker, tosser, sambo, arse, and fanny.
One last thing, if someone is staring at you, usually the greeting of "Rodney" or "plonker", along with a big laugh, will instantly win their friendship. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
