Many are now obsolete typically words which relate to pre-decimalisation coins, although some have re-emerged and continue to do so. Here are the most common and/or interesting British slang money words and expressions, with meanings, and origins where known. Backslang reverses the phonetic (sound of the) word, not the spelling, which can produce some strange interpretations, and was popular among market traders, butchers and greengrocers. Certain lingua franca blended with 'parlyaree' or 'polari', which is basically underworld slang.īackslang also contributes several slang money words. This contributed to the development of some 'lingua franca' expressions, i.e., mixtures of Italian, Greek, Arabic, Yiddish (Jewish European/Hebrew dialect), Spanish and English which developed to enable understanding between people of different nationalities, rather like a pidgin or hybrid English. London has for centuries been extremely cosmopolitan, both as a travel hub and a place for foreign people to live and work and start their own busineses. While the origins of these slang terms are many and various, certainly a lot of English money slang is rooted in various London communities, which for different reasons liked to use language only known in their own circles, notably wholesale markets, street traders, crime and the underworld, the docks, taxi-cab driving, and the immigrant communities.

Walk the length of the putt feel it with your feet imagine it with your hands and your eyes then go ahead and commit to make a really solid putt understanding the speed and the line are both vitally important to putt well on two tiered greens. Understand that you’ve got to break that putt into three sections flat, slope, flat. So when you are on these two tiered greens understand you’re in a difficult situation you no longer try to make the putt you are just trying to take two putts. I can have imagined the flow of the water over the surface and how the water would react because I know my ball will react in the same fashion. Now you can see I gesticulate quite a lot with my hands when I am talking but I also do that when I am reading greens. So if it’s downhill I just need to get the putt to the top of the slope then it will race down the hill and then it work its way to the hole. Well obviously the tier being uphill or downhill will greatly affect the line but also the speed. And actually spend a bit of time really walking the length of the putt, feeling with your feet, looking with your eyes how would the ball react now how will it react now how will it react at the end. And if I can read those three sections this will be relatively flat, then there’s the big slope, then it’s relatively flat again. The second section is how will the slope affect the putt and then then the third section is what will it do when it’s on the next flat section towards the hole. The first part would be what will a putter do on my relative flat section before it gets to the slope. The best way to actually read the green is actually to break it into three parts. The chance of actually making that putting one go is pretty slim depending on the severity of the slope. Now if we imagine that you’ve got yourself onto the wrong tier how do you then read that green, how do you putt well from the wrong tier? Firstly you have to understand you’re in a difficult position and the ideal – the ideal scenario here would be taking two putts, first putt close second putt in.
Big tier at the back, big sloppy Mackenzie slope, and then another tier at the bottom. You’ll see on Augusta National quite a few greens with big slopes and then big tiers, and probably the ninth green most famous example. So that severe slope is often called the Mackenzie green after Allister Mackenzie golf course designer who originally actually laid out Augusta National. How can you improve your putting on two tiered golf greens? So initially we need to look at what is a two tiered golf greens basically two separate levels possibly separated by quite a big severe slope.
