sorted
SAW-tid · /ˈsɔː.tɪd/
Local meaning
Organised, repaired, arranged, supplied, or successfully dealt with.
In British informal English, “sorted” confirms that a problem or plan has been handled. It may mean tickets are booked, equipment is fixed, a person has what they need, or an arrangement is complete. Used alone—“Sorted!”—it is a compact confirmation that no further action is needed.
Examples in context
- The tickets are sorted for Friday.
- Give me ten minutes and I’ll get it sorted.
- You’ve booked the table? Sorted.
How it is used
It commonly follows forms of “be” or “get”. Used as an exclamation, it confirms success or agreement rather than describing alphabetical sorting.
Efficient, reassuring, satisfied, or decisive.
Plans, repairs, bookings, work, errands, and problem-solving.
Broad informal and moderately neutral conversation.
“I’ll sort you out” can have other meanings, including helping, supplying, or threatening someone, so the surrounding words matter.
Spelling and scope
Very common informal British English and routine in London across generations and communities; not uniquely London.
Common search forms stay discoverable without claiming that every London community uses one spelling.
Common patterns
