Re: Brits - Slang question: how do you say arrogant??
 

Ok, are any of these unfamiliar (they all mean the same thing)

Ginger (slang: ginger beer=queer)
brown hatter
turd burglar
batting for the other side
iron (rhyming slang - iron hoof)
takes it up the Gary
poofta
Woolly woofta (==poofta)

Re: Brits - Slang question: how do you say arrogant??
 

brown hatter
iron (rhyming slang - iron hoof)

Those 2 I haven't heard before but others might know them. We also don't bother beating around the bush and saying "Gary".

EDIT - I've never heard anyone say brown hatter but if I did, I'd understand what they meant. I wouldn't get iron though.

I added Ginger later, and this one is definitely the main one used in my part of London. Heard that one?

No, but keep these coming.
Use Ginger in a sentence, please.
Also - taking it up the Gary - I assume there's a famous "Gary" who has a last name that rhymes with ass or something?
