Good morning from Oxbridge English its Ali today we shall continue our British Slang series episode 8 todays four words are ‘wind up’ , ‘barmy’, ‘belt up’ and ‘bespoke’.
Wind up - This has a couple of meanings. If something you do is a "wind up" it means you are making fun of someone. However it you are "wound up" it means you are annoyed.
Barmy - If someone tells you that you're barmy they mean you have gone mad or crazy.
Belt up - For some reason I heard this quite a lot as a kid. It's the British for shut up.
Bespoke - We say something is bespoke if it has been created especially for someone, in the same way that you say custom.
Ok that’s all for today and remember to just speak
