You mean Brittish slang? I know a few expressions they use.

Pissed also means drunk. You don't want to know how I learned that.
They say "bloody" a lot, and even "bleeding", instead of "effing", though they use that too, mind you. Ex: Where's the bloody remote?
They say "pub" instead of "bar"
The sland for "toilet" is "loo".
They say "lift" instead of "elevator" sometimes.
"Mate", which means "friend", is used at the end of sentences a lot. Ex: Why don't you do something with your mates? [or] Good on you, mate!
"Bloke" means "fellow" or "guy".
If someone is "off their rocker" it means they are insane.
"Lorry" is "truck"
"Ice lolly" is "popsickle" so "lolly" is "lollypop"

Try watching some brittish TV, or looking in the ditionary. the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English tells you whether a word is used in American English or Brittish English. It's very good.

P.S. You mean "nauseous"
