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"

Feet are shaped like a 50 pence piece

Used to describe a football player whose passes or shots go anywhere other than intended.

Insinuates that the player's feet at shaped like a seven-sided coin used in the UK, adding a random directional factor to any strike of the ball.

Darwin Nunez has fucked up that chance again. His feet are shaped like a 50 pence piece!

Penced

1. To have faith in someone who blindsides you and lets you down
2. When someone reveals their true colors and betrays you in a time of need
3. When a coward doesn't uphold the truth

Example: Judas "Penced" Christ, to the Jewish authorities, in return for thirty pieces of silver

Big Daddy Pence

Mike Pence’s Alias. How Mike Pence is referred as by Gen Z and others on TikTok. As for why; I have no idea.

Yo you saw the fly on Big Daddy Pence’s hair last night on the debate?

Pencing Them Off

The act of surrounding someone with plexiglass to protect others from that person’s infectious diseases; specifically one who insists on not following recommended quarantine guidelines after significant COVID-19 exposure.

Did you hear Steve and Sara came to Michelle’s baby shower? Yeah, they endEd up Pencing Them Off because his brother’s kegger last weekend was deemed a superspreader event.
