The slang used by African-American musicians has had a great effect on British slang since the Second World War. This effect has grown recently as American rap music with its fast spoken rhymes has become popular around the world. Words from the US can now reach Britain in weeks through the Internet and television. For example, awesome, wicked, and bad (meaning excellent) have been widely used by you ng people in Britain but they were first used in the US. Many slang words show that you like o r dislike something. For example, in British slang lush means lovely, Boom/ means the very best, and minging means bad. In Britain a stupid person is called a div, in the US a dummy, in Australia a dill or a boofhead. A pretty but stupid girl is a bimbo in Britain and the US, a boring person is a dweeb in the US, a lazy man is a bludger in Australia. A good-looking person is spunky in Australia or buff in the US and Britain. The basic things in life are often given slang words: food is grub in Britain and the US (a word that has been used since the seventeenth century) and tucker in Australia; money is wonga or dough in Britain, green or moolah in the US.

Australians are very proud of their slang and often use it. It has many shortened words: for example, arvo for afternoon, Aussie for Australian, brekkie for breakfast, and sunnies for sunglasses. The Cockneys of East London are also proud of their 'rhyming slang' which is now widely used. In this slang, part of the slang expression rhymes with (he word in Standard English. For example: garden plant means aunt, Plates of meat means feel, bread and honey means money. It can become more difficult to understand when the rhyming word is not used. For example, 1 need some bread means 1 need some money. Today most new rhyming slang uses famous names. For example, Britney Spears means beers. Rhyming slang is also used in Australia and the US.
