Yeah I say these. I do not say bare though. I think that is like a Londoner term. My favourite one is “keen”. I think it is more of a Cornish thing though.

They forgot “tosspot” same as wanker. “Do one” - get away from me. And “my arse” - load of bollocks (rubbish). I could go on. lol. Never heard of “bare” tho - new one on me.

Banterbury = Bishop of Banter - great at holding a conversation.
Top = Great.
Lets smash it = Lets go for it.

Bare is really well known in London.

That’s bare funny, that’s bare jokes

It’s kind of really slang

You’d never hear posh people say it

You mainly hear people in tracksuits and golden chains say bare in London, and expensive trainers.
