Most of them are true, but Rooty Tooty Point and Shooty is a joke by comedian Brian Regan in reference to how stupid “Walkie Talkie” is for being the name of a military invention.
I wish these were true. The author has to be American, they have clearly gathered a malformed an image of what a “typical” cockney sounds like from TV when making up some of these. I will however adopt the phrase “Cold on a Cob” from now on. (The common British term is “icy lolly” btw.)
So many memes about our “two people, divided by a common language” on the internets, yet whenever real Americans and British end up in a conversation, they inevitably crash and burn on the discrepancy in the meaning of the word ‘fanny’
These are all 100% true.
I’m sorry but “rooty tooty” is not an British phrase. What others call a “gun” we call a “French Tickler”.
My mistake.

Or “rubber.”
That’s a pretty good one for the horrific lock stock spin offs that surfaced
