    bum bag = a bag worn on a strap around the waist
    cack = nonsense
    choong = attractive person - usually referring to a female
    dosh = money
    fag end = cigarette butt
    googled = a cricket term no less
    gutties = running shoes
    kecks = trousers or underpants
    manky = feeling ill
    mong = disgusting, dirty
    pong = a strong unpleasant smell
    pukka = legitimate, the real thing
    quim = female genitalia
    scrumping = stealing apples from an orchard
    skint = out of money
    tiger nuts = small remnants of toilet paper that cling to body hair after bowel movement

    That is all.
