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.

Marketing speak for the kiddies with too much of the "i want or i'm gonna start screaming".......
"and this product is aimed at the tweenager market"... ARGHHHHHHH!
Plus me and the boss at my pub tend to yell "Beetroot" at each other while we're working followed by an impression of aforementioned root..... well, it keeps us happy and confuses the customers...... tho we've recently moved on to other vegetable matter......
sane, honestly....

Need I say any more. Heard it for the first time off my flat mate the other day, could be a northern saying. That'll teach me to live with women.
If you still haven't got it only women can have there bean flicked.

John Smiths revenge.... the beer shits.
Slightly merry, that means pissed as twat.
We also use the phrase psychedelic yodelling to describe the after effects of getting slightly merry and having too much falling down water (booze!)
Adam's ale or council pop also seems to have returned to local slang to describe water.
We've used the phrase Chud or Chuddie to describe chewing gum for years, yet someone I know from Hull refers to having a chud or chudding as going for a crap.Didn't half confuse him when I said anyone got any chud?

Nesh seems to have returned, meaning soft or soppy, th's nesh tha is.
Like your bird.... a reply to something derogatory ie: You're stupid... yeak, like your bird.
A bit Graham or a bit Norton.... means someone who bats for the opposition, as in he looks a bit graham (or gay if you like!)
Ho's clothes the sort of clothing young clubbers tend to wear...short and skimpy.
My personal fave at the mo is M&M's, I work in a call centre and if you ask someone how their days going, if their having a bad 'un they'll say 'I've been talking to m&m's all day'. It mean Muppets and Morons.

"ghurr.. ezzay cammo niyah" is what I say when I can't think of what to say. I also say "Nysen noissen nysen" when someone tells me something I don't agree with, and "ezack-snack-shinoik-c'nack!" is what I shout when something strange and unexpected happens and I don't know what to do.
I know, I'm strange.

to take the piss - to be rinsed/ to have the piss take out of you.
oldie but goodie...'bung' or bungie' (meaning a rubber or eraser)...we used that when I was at a posh prep school e.g. 'pass the bungie' 'stop throwing your bungie, Smith Major!'....smith major would be the eldest smith child - still jump a mile if someone barks 'major' after my surname.
and another piece of playground yelling...'quiz!' meaning 'who wants this which I am holding?' to which you reply 'ego!' while waving your hands up in the air (trans. me! pick me! I want that digestive!) 'parently its latin...bloody public schools

Alright, among the phrases my friends and I use:
"Cough Cough"-means, basically akward moment
"Nudge nudge"-pretty much same use as in the monty python sketch
"The Pinkie" (hand signal)-Means "Fork you", performed by making a fist and raising only your pinkie
"Splunge"-Means, you can't decide between yes or no
"Flying Tie Dye Monkeys"-We're not quite sure WHAT this means, but we use it quite often
"Igsnore"-The worst insult in the world, but nobody knows what the heck it means.
"Spam"-means "Sh**" or "Fu**", depending on it's context.
And of course, various Radioactive things. I think we watch a bit too much monty python...

I have no idea what it means, but my flatmate from Halifax says it.
Oh, and upon leaving a shop, most likely with stolen goods, the more discrening ghetto child will say "Hoods up, dip out".

is one that turned my head recently... I heard some local scallies up here in York saying it. It appears to mean the same as "f**ked up", and they don't seem to be aware of the racist connotations!
