I find it weird that the kids in Harry Potter say bloody. Not so much weird but I think its kind of old fashioned. J K Rowling needs to get down with the kidz!
I'm not sure where this originates from but if something is "butters" it's crap.
In Britain if someone is "hot" or good looking their "fit!" In America they say "fitty"? a bit like hottie.
I don't know much Brit slang but I have some very good Aussie friends. Austrailians are decendents from exiled British prisoners, right? Maybe some of the slang is the same. :)
Australian English -> American English: Bogan -> Backward person Wanker -> Idiot or taken literally, a chronic masturbator
Even here in the US different areas will have have different words for the same item.
In the midwest soda is soda, but also each brand is referred to by it's individual name (i.e. Dr. Pepper, Coke, Pepsi, Mt. Dew). In other areas of the country people refer to soda as pop, cola, fizz, or coke (even if it's Pepsi).
Depending on what part of the country you're in a shopping cart might be called a basket, stroller, wagon, or buggy.
I'm sure there are more, but I can't think of any others. ~L~

We used to say that at the pub we used to go to: "She's a fit bird"... Sounds funny when we say it, but we were in an authentic Irish pub at the time.

I never heard of bogan, but wanker is as you explained. I think that Aussie does have their own slang though.
