Many words I don't get at all.
If some brit could write down explanations for some of the more difficult slang terms or brit inside jokes, I'd appreciate it.

That guy was hilarious...
Siro, what words didn't you understand? A list would be helpful. I'll admit that I didn't get all the references and stuff. But I got the gist of it I think...

What words aren't you getting?
Supply Teacher = Substitute teacher who fills in when the main teacher is away
Norwich (pronounced "Norridge") is the capital city of the East Anglian region. Its a bit of a small city and relatively isolated from the rest of the UK. Norfolk and Suffolk, two of the major counties in East Anglia, have a reputation for inbreeding. I went to university in Norwich. Its a lovely city but there are some people who see and you just *know* their family tree is a circular wreath.
Slags = Women with loose morals and even looser ladybits. Taken to wearing skirts that are more accurately described as wide belts and drinking cheap alcopops.
**** = idiot. fool. female genitalia
Congestion Charge = the £8 fee to drive into central london. Does not apply to people coming in by train, tube, bike or low emmission car.
Estate = council estate. A section of a town or city where the housing is owned by the local government and rented cheaply to people on low incomes. Often not terribly nice places to live, natural home of the chav/scally
Innit (pronounced "inneh") = isn't it
We're seeing a rise in compensation culture here in the UK, similar to America. Fortunately, our judges seem to be less willing to hear stupid cases. I maintain hope that this particular import will be strangled in its crib.
Casuality = a BBC medical drama. Not very good yet strangely addictive, like a slow paced polite E.R. Casuality also refers to the British term for Emergency Room (also called A&E here)
Pikey = an insult leveled against the working class. Originally derived from an insult against Irish Travellers. Something to do with turnpikes, not sure. Along the same vein as chav.
CCJs = County Court Judgement. Something to do with yoru credit worthiness. Its bad to have CCJsExult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

Hmm. It might be closer to "innih". The "t" is replaced with a gluttual stop.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you.

Innit's only used at the end of a sentence.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation.
