Sorry. I can't help you until next week. I've got far too much on my plate at the moment.

Don't worry. You won't have to pay for all of us at the restaurant. We always go Dutch.
Thanks @WordReporter for those great suggestions.

It seems to me that slang is one of the most difficult components of any language, because slang is constantly changing, it has its own in each age, social category.
In order to constantly be aware of new slang, you need to consume books, TV shows, memes - everything related to the English language.
Thanks to everyone who provided examples of slang usage!

What is Dodgy?
Can you explain me more about this?
And thanks for sharing this informative post.
often used to describe something that is perceived as questionable, suspicious, or unreliable. It is commonly used in British English and other English-speaking countries to express doubt or skepticism about a person, situation, product, or idea. When someone refers to something as "dodgy," they may be implying that it seems dishonest, risky, or not entirely trustworthy.
Absolutely! English slang is like the spice that gives our language its kick. From "Are you kidding me?" to "Chill" and "What's up?", these phrases add personality to everyday conversations. So, how well do you know your English slang? Which one's your favorite?
