Some colorful slang

                Abuden
    The short form of "Ah, but then?" to

 indicate, "What else did you expect?" or 

"Wasn't that obvious?
    A: I told her I would keep her cat while she

 went on vacation, but didn't realise I would 

have to feed the cat. 

    B: Abuden? Did you expect the cat to go 


look for food on its own?
            
          Achcherlee =  actually

           Alrite    =   all right

           Macam macam = it takes all sorts of people

           Blimey = God blind me! Exclamation 

of shock from low class Cockney English.
