I just watched the movie "Snatch" for the third time and love the dialogue and limey speak between the characters. Here's a quote: "I'm the one who's got the gun, son. It's you who I think ought to calm ... You want to see if I've got the minerals?"

Question: Minerals? Do limeys actually use this saying? I love the saying, but I'd get laughed at if I used it here...

Its more of London thing... maybe some southerners around here can enlighten you. Any ****neys here?

I love that film though, very funny, clever and original....well... original compared to films not made by Guy Ritchie.

Bullet tooth Tony is ****ing mint.

Ive never heard anyone ever use the term minerals. Alot of of '****ney slang' is used by a small minority of ****neys who all live underground beneath the streets of old london town eating dirty potatoes.

I heard if someone says thats the dogs bollocks....it means that it's cool as a polar bears toenails.

No, it doesnt. It doesnt mean 'cool', it means the best of the best. Dogs bollocks are just perfect looking balls.

Bears toenails my arse.
