My recording

has to do with: relates to, affects, appertains to, applies to.
cheerio!: good bye, good luck.

cheerio (without exclamation sign): cereal
Taking the piss is a colloquial term
meaning to mock at the expense of others, or to be joking, without the element of offence.

I feel you: I undertand.
no My cup of tea: it’s not what you like or what you’re interested in.
proper good: real good.
sweet. yeah: excellent!
I’m down: you’re agreeing to do what the person is asking.
Dude: man.
Wicked: literally evil if you know a friend you can talk with him her like a dude.
Yikes: uff, is an interjection of surprise, alarm, or concern and is often used to respond to an awkward remark.
I’m buzzing: be very excited and happy.
cheers: hello, goodbye, to thank you, and no, thank you, to formal or informal toasts at the bar.
