I believe it refers to someone who changes opinions so as to concur with those in whose company he is currently.  Roughly the human equivalent of a chameleon.

I think ^ means someone is going to get violated. But it was funny, some people just have no sense of humor. Libs are calling us cry babies, sore losers etc, but when you try to make yourself feel better with a bit of humor they don't like that either. Libs need to grow up!

Some of the words given by bmwdriver above aren't right. \n\nA foot path isn't a sidewalk; the right word is pavement.  Foot path is just a right of way for pedestrians only, i.e. no horses or vehicles.\n\nJersey is a particular type of sweater; the generic term is "jumper".\n\nPiss is most definitely not beer (though if you've been told this, it is probably a British person's opinion of American beer).  We use "beer" as well.  Piss is urine, though "pissed" is drunk, not angry and "On the piss" is going out for a session of heavy drinking.  "Taking the piss" is making a fool of someone or having them on.\n\nShag isn't sex itself, it's a verb meaning to have sex.\n\nThe usual ones that cause amusement are:\n\nBritish pants = US underwear (though we say that as well)\nBritish trousers = US pants\nBritish fanny = US <censored by Yahoo>, but put it this way, British fannies are female only and round the front, not the back.\n\nFor far more answers to this question than will fit here, see the link below, which has a searchable US/UK equivalents dictionary.\n\nOh, and to answer the second half of the question:\n\nBugger is gay penetrative sex (verb) or someone who practises it (noun) and derives from "Bulgarians", who were (falsely) accused of such practices in the middle ages.   It's strength as an expletive has declined over the years and so it would not be unusual to hear "Bugger me!" as an exclamation of surprise (and not an invitation) or to hear someone described as "He's a rum bugger", without any implication of sexual orientation.  You won't hear it in polite company though.\n\nBloody is a fits-anywhere mild expletive.  It derives from the original expression "By Our Lady" (i.e. swearing by the virgin Mary), but I don't think a lot of people are really aware of that today.  It can be inserted more or less anywhere in a sentence that f***ing might be, but isn't anywhere near as unacceptable.  Again, not really for use in polite society though.

It refers to the Jonestown mass murder/suicide in 1978, where hundreds of people were forced into a tent and made to drink poisoned Flavor Aid (though many people believe it was KoolAid).\n\nMany people use the expression to refer to those who blindly follow a leader into a dangerous or lethal situation.

Well, it could mean the person is deceitful and manipulative.  Or, maybe the person is embarrassed to say.  Maybe he thinks that the question is rude or inappropriate.  Maybe he is eager to please and doesn't want to give an answer that will distress you.

Depending on your relationship with the person, it was an insult, a compliment, or he/she was being arrogant.\n\nThis line has historically had 3 meanings:\n1) A friend says that to you, it's a compliment.  He is saying that you look especially good today.\n2) Someone who doesn't like you says that to you, it's an insult.  He's saying that you are vain, conceited, egotistical, you have an Eros complex, or he's making fun of the way you look.  (This quote has been used more recently by advertisers to get overweight people to join expensive gyms or pay for expensive diet plans.)\n3) Someone you know to be full of himself says this to you or in general, he is reaffirming that he thinks he looks good and is probably way too sure of himself.

"As for "happy camper" (meaning a person who is pleased or contented), I too have found it annoying since it first appeared in the early 1980s. The underlying reference, of course, is to a child at summer camp, a venue in which happiness and "team spirit" are stressed yet, especially for neophytes, notoriously elusive. So it's probably significant that "happy camper" is most frequently used in the sarcastic negative form "not a happy camper." Probably the most vivid account of childhood camp-angst remains Allan Sherman's 1963 hit song "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh," which begins "Hello Muddah, hello Fadduh, here I am at Camp Granada" and includes such lines as "All the counselors hate the waiters and the lake has alligators. ... You remember Jeffrey Hardy? They're about to organize a searching party." No wonder I refused to go to summer camp."

I *think* you're asking about Ixnay on the Upidstay\nwhich means "nix on the stupid"  basically telling you to shut your mouth in front of someone who doesn't know you're talking about them

It's just a gangsta term. Example: you go up to someone and say, "You're fat!" They(subject A) respond in a nasty tone saying "Your mama!!". It's spos to bounce the insult to a subject, which might not even be in the conversation. Therefore, insulting your mother(subject B), you getting really P.O.'ed, and Subject A has just given you a come back.

don't get hung up on it, it is just a term someone uses to make a sentence more personal if he doesn't know you..it is very common to call a guy you don't know..Mate, Buddy, Bud,Chief, Amigo,...just like calling a woman, honey, love, baby or whatever..I'm sure the person didn't mean any offence by it
