Definitions
A fruitie is British slang for a fruit machine — the coin-operated slot machine you'll find lining the walls of pubs and arcades across the UK. These flashy, beeping, endlessly tempting machines are a staple of British leisure culture. Dropping a coin in a fruitie and hoping for three cherries in a row is practically a national tradition. The nickname is affectionate and casual, reflecting the kind of fondness Brits have for a cheeky flutter at the local.
