13 British Slang Terms You Can Use At an Après-Ski Party

We all know that somebody can all of a sudden becomes a bit more attractive when they have an accent. I mean, they gain at least 10-23 sexy points just by pulling out this accent, even if their nose hairs are wet with beer from the après-ski party.

While abroad in the French Alps, I was hanging out with a group of about 16 people that were from England, Ireland, Australia, and beyond, but most of them currently reside in London. The accents were hot, but what was even more fun was the British slang that was used during every conversation.
