	'''Pub''' - Public house, a place where alcohol is sold and can be consumed on the premises. Not quirky quaint olde english places, as America might associate with the word, but rather buildings with crumbling plaster, a permanent smell of urine and no food served apart from bags of scratchings. Usage: ''"Going down the pub. Coming?"''		'''Pub''' - Public house, a place where alcohol is sold and can be consumed on the premises.

			'''Fick''' - "Thick", i.e. stupid. It's worth noting that generally Scum will pronounce ''"th-"'' as ''"f-"'' or ''"d-"'', for example. ''Tracy: "where de fings dat dey wanted?" Cheryl: "froo dere."''. We don't go overboard with this sort of speech style in the game system though, as frankly it'd make for bad reading and makes the ''Scum'' look like w40K orks.

	'''Fked up''' - Either "very weird" or "the victim of a physical assault" or "damaged." Surprisingly, not used in any way with regards to sex. Usage: ''"That tramp's hair was well fked up, so we fked him up, but I got blood on my jeans and now they're all fked up."

	British players and GMs likely won't need this handy lexicon, as its the language of a Friday night on the town. Americans will likely know a lot of the words here, as British teenagers learn most of what they know from American TV anyway.
