Slang SurveyWhat 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.

Backies, Seater's , Takies or CroggiesAs a kid, you would give a mate a lift on yer Raleigh Striker if they asked "Give us a Backy?" As an ex whippet handler, living in Brookie land, I've had many an argument about the correct term. I go for the Queen's english term for this, which is "Backy" as stated by the lovely piece of crumpet Kirsty Gallager on the unfunny Kirsty's home movies. Which would you go for?
