get off

1. When I was at school this was a generic term meaning "to pair off with", usually used at a party or other event designed specifically for pre-pubescent pre-sexual encounters. Means anything from a kiss to "going all the way"

2. However my other half thinks it means specifically "to have sex with" at the same event that you meet the person.

1. Oh my God! You'll never believe who Sally got off with at Dave's party last night!!

2. I see you used all the condoms up, you must have got off with Dave last night then?

wet my hair

A female-only announcement meaning "I have to go for a piss". Only heard in the context of women from the NE of Britain.

Ooh give over will you, I've just got to go and wet me hair!

ginger beer

Cockney rhyming slang for a homosexual man.

Ginger Beer.... Queer!

I have also heard it used in relation to engineers, though I suspect they didn't like it very much!

That Quentin is a right ol' ginger!
