4 slang words - English In M Minute

Hi, I'm Sian from BBC Learning English,

and today I'm going to share four British

slang words with you.

So these are words you should only use in

an informal situation.

The first one is 'gutted'. This is an adjective

and means very sad or disappointed.

I just failed my driving test for the fourth

time! I'm gutted.

Number two is 'knackered'. This is also an

adjective and means really, really tired.

I went to a party last night and now I'm knackered!

Next we have 'skint'. If someone is skint

they have no money or very little money.

I can't come out tonight, I'm skint.

Out fourth slang word is the opposite of

skint – 'loaded'. If someone is loaded, they

are very very rich.

I just won the lottery – I'm loaded!
