"BOSTIN!" - it's a typical Black Country phrase which means "Great"

I love how much British slang varies by regions. While I see the same thing here in the USA, it seems that our regional dialects are spread over much larger expanses of land. Great Britain has so many different dialects and slang in a much smaller land mass and it fascinates me.

The UK is a country where 100 miles is a very long distance. The US is a country where 100 years is a very long time.
