Flippin’ ‘eck Barry, a fiver?? You’re ‘avin’ a Turkish! I’m completely boracic!
(If @Barbaria1 asks whether English people normally talk this way, say yes!)
Deciphering that post in stages.I’m completely boracic!
It’s pronounced ‘brassic’ and it’s slang for being penniless. Like so many other widespread expressions, it derives from the Cockney rhyming slang 'boracic lint' which rhymes with skint signifying that the person has no money. Incidentally, boracic lint was used as a dressing in the treatment of ulcerated skin.
I don’t think asking is really necessary, or of much use, as I’d barely understand anything said to me in response.
What was that famous line in that film? Something about why can’t the English …. ?
Dear Girl, one feels one should point out that not every Englishman employs colloquial pronounciation. What?

Hmm. And here I thought the word at the end of certain sentences was "Wot?" As in a Shakespearean "I wot not."
No, no. It's pure Wodehouse, though I believe it was used by actual people as well. It was used to invite agreement, or comment, as in 'what do you say to that?'
I can honestly say I've never heard it used in serious conversation. Some pepper their speech with 'right?' or 'innit?' for the same purpose though.

Are you trying to tell us that you were... deviant? Tsk, tsk! Serves you right. No place for deviant artists on such a wholesome, family-friendly site such as that.

Indeed, I don’t think that’s the kind of deviant they had in mind when they started the site!

This discussion reminds me of when we went to watch ‘Snatch’ in original language(s), in a group consisting of a Scottish Canadian, a Lebanese US American, some Cypriots, an Australian and a guy from northern England (and me).
Nobody understood a word of it, except maybe the North English guy. But nobody understood what he said as well.

Really? I thought that the strange pronounciation had to do with the level of consumption of Riesling by Minnesota blue state women.That’s because genuine Minnesotan blue state slavegirls are generally kept gagged to prevent complaining!

Minnesotan is quite properly spoken. Indeed, it’s one of the most properly spoken of all the many variations of the English language. That’s because we blue state Minnesotans do everything quite properly. It’s a place where everyone is above average and no one ever swears or cusses. Now if you’d like to find some really bad variations of the English language (besides those spoken in certain parts of Blighty), I highly recommend a visit to Arkansas.Really?
