Good morning from Oxbridge English its Ali today we shall continue our British Slang series episode 7 todays four words are ‘ta’, ‘tara’, throw a spanner in the works’ and waffle.
Ta - We said "ta" as kids in Liverpool for years before we even knew it was short for thanks.
Tara - Pronounced "churar", this is another word for cheerio or goodbye.
Throw a spanner in the works - This is an expression that means to wreck something.
Waffle-To waffle means to talk on and on about nothing. It is not something you eat. Americans often think that Brits waffle on about the weather.
Ok that’s all for today and remember to just speak！
