"Full stop", that's another one that's popped up a lot lately. I think it means "end of story", or maybe "nothing else to debate". You'd hear "and that's how I define systems engineering, full stop".
Here's a fun one "Bobs your uncle". It literally means nothing, it's just filler. The context I first heard it in was a conversation between a realtor and a buyer. "You could sign now, be done with it, bobs your uncle". I dunno, good luck understanding that one :)

Oh, I said one of the dumbest things I've ever said last week. We were chatting about football (soccer), making small talk. I was saying I'd let to get to a match (game).

It's a city. In the UK.
