You nosy porker!
But, 'Owt' is pronounced 'oat' and basically means 'anything'
E.G I don't know owt. - i don't know anything.
get it?
We have a lot of slang words (hundereds)
But they are usually spoken, not typed.
Lets just say that, if we go back to medieval times, you wouldn't find the upper class saying slang such as that!
theres also 'anyroad' which also means 'anyway'
e.g Why would we want him anyroad? - why would we want him anyway?
It might sound wierd to you, but it's completely natural to me, i say these words, but i try to lay off the slang and speak ' proper' English.
We also use 'taters' as a short word for potatoes,

I think I've heard Anyroad used before, but never owt XD
And there's the ever-popular "Yall," or a contraction of you all. (y'all)
I am constantly spelling my words British-style (Colour instead of color, grey instead of gray, favourite instead of favorits) and it gets me in so much trouble with my teachers!

Leave it to us British to spell like that.
It feels good to know that in a way, we have the 'original' language.
I don't know why, it just makes me feel proud.
*Random and wierd i know.*
*I will now speak to you, in british slang*
Ayup duck.
How are you, chick?
Did you see that guy's face, today?
Gret, right one he was.
Up at t' pub, looking a right toss-pot...
*random sentence
Thats just a small (very small) example.
I don't know if you've heard of any of those.

I know it can be used anywhere
I was just giving you an example and i needed some introduction!
*have a round of tea and crumpets on me!*
I love crumpets!
God damn you...i is hungry now...
That brings me to the topic, why does everyone make out the British drink large amounts of tea?!
We don't, although i am the tea maker in my house, if my parents want a cuppa, it'll be makin' it.

I dunno, why does everyone think Americans eat a ton of hamburgers and barbeque? Although personally most in my family prefer Italian food.
Why does everyone think British people have bad teeth? Why are all American men overweight sports fanatics? It's just a stereotype thing.

crumpets look like cheese, they have small holes in them, and yes a crumpet is a form of bread (a great tasting form
They are shaped like biscuits, and are usually eaten for breakfast, they are fairly soft and light, so they aren't particularly hard.
If you haven't eaten a crumpet, go eat one!
I don't think this country made a better snack.
The crumpet is very old, i don't know exactly how old, but it was an Anglo-saxon invention.
My dads a great cook, so we eat a range of foods.
But i mostly prefer Chinese. (Not the crappy takeaways, the sort of thing you'd find if you went to a restraunt.)
I like prawn crackers, so crunchy.
