Heretic121 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 So, I called Kami a sod and I'm having trouble explaining the meaning to him. Therefore I'm calling on all brits to give me their definition of the word 'sod' From what I can gather it's heavily reliant on context and who you learnt the word from. The best I could come up with is: it's meant in jest when someone annoys you for something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chameleon Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 From where I am from a sod is like the town drunk, or someone who doesn't do anything but drink, doesn't work doesn't have a home, is dirty and smelly and drunk hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggtato Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) Use the internet guys.

Chameleon Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 No I knew the actual definition of sod, I was going for the slang in my area hehe.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedAngel Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 From where I'm from 'sod' is a very mild curse, you're right it is a difficult one to explain and is reliant on context, for example, i would call someone a cheeky sod when they give me some lip (ie talking back to me) Sorry for the crap explanation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ol Smoke Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Some of you are mistaking the word SOD for SOT. SOT is a sot (sÉ’t) n. a drunkard. [before 1000; Middle English: fool, Old English sott < Medieval Latin sottus] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader RedBaird Posted August 6, 2013 Leader Share Posted August 6, 2013 Now I keep wondering which came first, sod as "drunk" or sod as "earth". That is, did the did the drunk get that slang name because they spent so much time lying on the sod, or did the ground get that name from all the sods lying on it? ...and yes, I had to look up lay and lie usages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
