From what I can gather, mate, he's still up the old apples and pears getting the tin lids ready. Bloody skiving wanker - he's having a bath if he thinks I'm hanging around for him. Phew, I'm not english so that was quite a struggle :P

Total pants :P

I fancied the fartleberry was banging one out. Either that or rat-arsed in the boot of a jam sandwich, old fellow firmly in hand, throwing a whitey

Total pants (Total crap??)

I fancied the fartleberry (smell??) was banging one out (having sex) Either that or rat-arsed (drunk) in the boot of a jam sandwich (sexual position??), old fellow (penis) firmly in hand (gripped hard), throwing a whitey (??upset)

Foreign language to me. I know a lot of Brits
and none talk like that. I guess it is like ghetto slang or
Aussie slang - used mostly to confuse or isolate a stranger
or as a group recognition overseas - but not mainstream.

You need to look at the dictionary. Fartleberry is that thing that clings to a dog's fur after taking a dump. Banging one out isn't having sex...at least not with someone else Jam sandwich is a police car. Throwing a whitey is being on the verge of vomiting.

At least ..that's what the thing said. YMMV offline

Besides ...I'm not a brit

I checked the dictionary and while I could understand
about 70%, the rest was pythonesque.

You have
to watch these Brits Capmaster, they love
to trick Americans with a load of bollocks.
Seems they have not got over the fact that
they are not an empire anymore :P

Silence colony boy :P

We trick Americans with gonads, or plumbs if you prefer, but never bollocks. I've no idea what Cap was babbling about - fartleberry ? I think thats what we know as a dangleberry or tag-nut ! Jam Sandwich ? Dunno that one and a whitey is, around here at least, the act of making yourself ill ingesting too much beer and/or pot.

Bloody yanks - they'll even mangle slang

Oh a dangleberry.. we call 'em dags. People who "spout shit" are
also known as dags Americans are just called Yanks as
in yank tank, which is nicer than "septic" for sure.
