We all know them as phrases commonly said by people who need to take their autism meds.

@OP
> Knob
How you open a door, also slang for the head of the penis

somebody not worth associating with
> Bell-end
a derisive but not particularly rude term for and idiot, also slang for the head of the penis
> Fanny
ass/buttocks, also a woman's name
> Put the 'mersion on
there is no noun in Anglish that contracts to "'mersion" so, nonsense
> Put big light on, our kid
sentence fragment, cannot explain further
> You giving it the big 'un?
Are you using the fat nigger cock?

Both wrong on fanny, it's actually our colloquialism for vagina. You and your transfiguration of Americanisms onto us.
If it's any consolation though, I've never heard the last 3 being uttered, making me suspect these are from OP's regional dialect, though since his third-world ghetto is so large he's probably convinced these are British-wide phrases. I managed to figure out as much as 'mersion contracts from immersion. Something to do with courting immigrants perhaps?

It does simplify targeting autists for abduction and reprogramming though.

Failed projects will have to double up on the domestos for one last autismal hurrah.

As a person who has intimate knowledge with British English, Autphag is British, not Irish.

The OP was asking what the phrases meant specifically to yanks, not what they thought they meant to us on this side of the pond.

But these are British in origin.

Yes, I know. Some have alternative meanings to Americans, some don't.

Who cares about the idiosyncrasies of Yanks?

The OP, I'd guess. Take it up with him.
