Hi Sarita. If I may, I'd like to say that both the suggestions so far, "grab some kip" and "get some shut-eye", are absolutely authentic British expressions. Both are colloquial; the difference, I'd say, is that "grab some kip" is more likely to be said by a younger person and "get some shut-eye" by someone of more mature years (such as myself or Andrew, judging by his photo: no offence, Andrew!). There is arguably an element of social class in this too; "shut-eye" is somewhat more genteel than "kip", which is slang. |
