Barmy = Daft, excentric - barmy refers to foam, implying that the
person has brain full of foam. It comes from a reference used in the
beer brewing industry to refer to beer foam. Another word for Mad,
nuts, cuckoo, bonkers, bubble in the fizz tank, one brick short of a
load, one oar in the water, etc...

Daft = mad, crazy, foolish, stupid

'Spend a Penny' = go to the bath room; "excuse me, I'm going to spend
a penny".

pissed = very drunk

Just thought I would add a few.
