This is a question Slang Survey

What new bit of language are you hearing at the moment? We want to hear words and phrases, with definitions and where it's being used. We're interested in marketing speak, stuff from kids in playgrounds etc.

The kids in Hackney
have a new expression which i found amusing.

"Screwing".

They say "Are you screwing me?" and it has nothing to do with sex or being ripped off.

"Screwing", apparently, is giving someone a dirty look in the hope of starting a fight which the rest of your gang can then get involved in.

It is derived from "Screw-face", when you screw up your face and look at someone.
