The motherland of the English language, where slang is practically a national sport. From Cockney rhyming slang to modern street talk, the UK has been inventing words and bending grammar since before Shakespeare made it cool.

Cooked
Courtney Sintoni · United States
"Cooked means you're in big trouble or things just aren't going your way at all. For example, you might see your friend getting caught while cheating on a test in school and you'd say, he's cooked."
Cooked
Janna · United States
"Cooked? You may think that is a positive thing because you know cook means like you're cooking up something but actually no, cooked literally means like you're done, you're exhausted, you're in trouble, you're doomed. That's basically what cooked means. An example would be oh my god guys my mom just caught me vaping. I am so cooked."
Cooked
Haley · United States
"Bro really thought he cooked with that comment. Cooked. So that means, like, you did something impressive or smart or just, like, really well done, essentially. Um, I'm American from the United States."
Caught lacking
Janna · United States
"Caught lacking is basically when you get caught doing something that you didn't really expect. I mean, that you didn't really expect to be caught doing, or that you were unprepared for something. Maybe you were just caught lacking. An example would be, Bro, did you just pick your nose? You were caught lacking."
A win is a win
Janna · United States
"A win is a win, basically whatever success it is, whatever win it is, you know, you win at something, no matter how small it may be, it is still a win, you still won at something. It could be, I don't know, you passed an exam, you passed a course, you got paid, literally any small thing, or it doesn't even have to be small, it could be anything, a win is a win, anything positive that's happened to you. An example would be, oh my god bro, I just passed Orgo 2, might be a D, but a win is a win."
Ick
Janna · United States
"Ick. Spelt I-C-K. This is something that someone can do that can turn you off. This is basically more in like the romantic setting. So, an example could be, oh my God, so we were swimming and then I dove down under the pool to just, you know, take a dive. And I saw him trying to stay afloat. His legs were wobbling all weird. Such an ick."

Voices of the people

Theory is all well and good... but what we Magikitos really love is hearing the people of United Kingdom in their natural flow. If you know a typical expression from there, record it in the Studio using it with a real example. We will add it to the voices of your area!
