Genuine Feel

The term for that sensation where somebody normally devoid of caring, compassion or empathy for others actually had a feeling that he/she can't explain and more alarmingly actually says it out loud!

M: Without sounding proper cheesy you make me genuinely laugh and smile literally daily lol
M: That sounds corny lol
S: Not at all, I think M what you expressed there was what us "normal" period call a genuine feel

Get the Genuine Feel mug.

As genuine as a 40 pence piece

A term used in the UK when someone is desperately trying to convince you that their piece of information or version of events is correct to gain your trust but you know that they're blatantly lying through their teeth. Or someone is trying to sell you the latest designer object (watch, trainers, handbag etc.) and you can clearly see it's a fake. It's as genuine as a 40 pence piece. There is no such thing as a 40 pence piece in UK currency so if someone tried to give you one you'd know it wasn't real money.

A woman looking at handbags on Ebay: "oooo have you seen this lovely designer handbag it's only £10"
Friend: " narr mate it's a fake"
Woman: " it looks genuine to me"
Friend: " genuine! It's about as genuine as a 40 pence piece"

Or

A man after been told someone unreliable information: " rubbish! what a load of old tosh"

The informer: " narr mate it's absolutely genuine"
Man: "yeah about as genuine as a 40 pencepiece"
