English is full of strange idioms, and today we’re diving into some bizarre British expressions you might hear! Some of these are quite common, especially the 2nd and 3rd, and you might hear them in the office or out and about. The others are less common, and just for you to be aware of, rather than need to try and use. Hopefully they're fun and interesting!

💬 Examples:

• "I don't think I had the brass neck to bunk off." → Brass neck = extreme confidence (or foolishness). Bunk off = skipping school!
• "You'll get it in the neck!" → Means you’re going to be in trouble!
• "We've got other fish to fry." → We have more important things to do!
• "You’ll be smiling on the other side of your face." → Not good news! You’ll regret something soon.

📌 You won’t need to use these—just understand them if you hear them!
