It’s genuinely incredible how diverse our world is – but what’s particularly impressive is the number of stunning languages it carries. To be somewhat precise, around 6,500 languages are currently spoken by folks globally, as well as an uncountable amount of accents and dialects. Every language has its own set of slang words and sayings that might make no sense to other people yet are perfectly straightforward to those who’re used to using them. After all, who knew that “Bob’s your uncle” could ever become a way of saying “and there you have it”, though the origin of the phrase is quite amusing.

Speaking about British slang and sayings, an online user shared a now-viral Tweet stating how she wishes she were British just so that she could describe everything as “absolutely mental”. The post ended up receiving nearly 100K likes and even encouraged fellow non-Brits to share their favorite slang words that they wish to use in their everyday conversations.
