Are These British Words Real Or Made Up?

Is This A Real British Slang Word Or Did I Just Make It Up?

[Cack-handed](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cack+handed) means to do something clumsily, specifically when referred to someone who is left-handed.

It's a real slang word!

[Poppycock](https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/poppycock) is a term for nonsense and is usually used as a retort to someone making a statement that is wrong. Its origins come from the Dutch word "Pappekak", which translates as "soft excrement".

It's real!

Unfortunately "cruddler" is not a word! If it were to be a word, I think it should mean "a person who goes around hugging old mattresses that have been left out on the street".

It's fake!

Sadly, I made "grublet" up. But if it were a word, it would be used to describe any meat that gets stuck in your teeth that is really hard to get out. "Hey Jane, have I got any grublets in my teeth?"

It's made-up!

It means to succeed in getting or doing something by being persuasive. "I'll be so jealous if you manage to [wangle](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/wangle) an invitation to his house."

It's a real word!

[Codswallop](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/codswallop#examples), much like poppycock, also means nonsense! An example of how to use codswallop would be: "This book about the Earth being flat is codswallop."

It's a word!

Sorry to disappoint but this is not a real British word. I think if "cumskunk" were a word, though, it would be slang for vegetables: "Make sure you eat your cumskunks so you grow big and strong."

It's not a real word!

Although it sounds great to say out loud, "flungerpumping" is not a real word. I think if it were to become a real slang word, it would be used to describe that moment after getting out of the shower, when you sit in your towel and think about life. "Sorry I was late today, I couldn't stop flungerpumping."

[Bagsy](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bagsy) is used when you want to claim something for yourself. If a person calls out bagsy on something, it is automatically theirs. For example, "Bagsy that bag of mashed potato!"

It's a real slang term!

"[Trollied](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=trollied)" is a real word, it is used to describe someone who is extremely drunk. For example, "Grandma got so trollied at the bingo the other night, she woke up in the veg aisle in Asda."

Please accept my apologies, but "grooble-grob" is not a real word. If it were to be a real word, I think it should be used to describe someone who sells Doctor Who memorabilia. In a sentence, it could be used like this: "Yeah, I'm a pretty big Doc Who fan, you could say I'm a grooble-grob, I've dabbled."

Yep, "[chuffed](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/chuffed)" is most definitely a real word. In a sentence, you could say, "I'm chuffed to bits with how I'm doing in this quiz!" If you're doing terribly, please disregard.

Sorry, but dingled is not a real British word. If it were to become a new word, I think it would be used to describe someone who gets very scared when riding roller coasters. For example, "Shane was very dingled when he had to ride the Waltzer with Mary."

It's a made-up slang term!

Oh, blimey! You probably haven't even stepped foot in Old Blighty. You don't have a clue about British words.

Not too bad, pal. You know some British words, but you've still got a little way to go to becoming a true Brit.

Not too shabby cock. You know your British words like the back of your hand.

Spiffing job m'old mucker! Your lexicon is truly British!
