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.

My six year old came home from school last week and told me that all his teachers are 'cunts'.

I went to a parents evening last Friday - he was right.

The Magical Idge
Adding 'idge' to the end of everything seems to be the major one round our parts at the moment, particularly 'LOLidge' and 'foodidge'.

Gay to mean bad also seems to be doing the rounds everywhere, but not in a homophobic way: more of a kind of postmodern ironic 'girls-wearing-t-shirts-with-"fat-slag"-written-on-them' way.

Other recent favourites include: 'cocksocks', 'puttybutter', 'anal' and of course 'goatse' used whenever something is seriously vomit-inducingly sick! (EG - "Did you see that on TV last night? It was totally goatse!")

The Blacksmiths Arms slang
from some staff at the pub

'mare, what a 'mare, you're having a 'mare
'mare being short for nightmare, which came from a fruit machine that said "what a nightmare" when you lost. recently evolved into Tony, as in "you've had a tony" - tony blair - nightmare etc


banter - not the talking about nothing sort of banter, but when some event occurs. There are 2 sorts of banter, good and bad. Someone tells you about something good, it's "ah, good banter" etc

Also "Watch the bar a minute, I'm going for a forest" Usually Adam, going to the toilet. Forest Gump - dump

Badger - universal word for anything: "get that badger down your neck", "look at that badger", "What a badger" - also any item of food on the menu - badger masala, 8oz wexford badger, mixed badger, bacon & cheese badger, oriental sizzling badger

Goat - Gary's fantasy sex object "I want a goat on a motorbike"

Boy racer slang
Length - "You daft length", from dogs length, meaning dogs cock

Bostin' stuff - going on a huge vandalising spree and damaging public property (I don't do this)

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.

More...
Obviously, speshul is used quite a lot. eg. "that was really speshul, luke" after he walks into a locked door.

Also, dirty. The worrying thing about this one is that it is good and bad...
eg. "Emma! Dirty, dirty Emma, drinking Vodka!"
and "ooh, bloody hell that's dirty".

Dirty, in the bad sense, can also be exchanged for "rough" or "harsh".

"Defend the Relm" is to drink all the vodka... don't ask (too much mortal kombat methinks). Also on the MK theme, "Goro" is the name we call anyone we hate. Either that or Smeagol.

Good name: Monkey
Bad Names (in order of badness, worst last): Moose, Badger, Mongoose.

Recently we have begun...
...inserting or removing h's from words,
to create Chunt
Or adding either 'oid' or 'or' to the end of words
thus Cuntoid, or Cuntor.

This should carry a warning, it becomes highly addictive...

Cheeky
It seems every time I talk to someone in the media there's a new buzzword and this changes every six months. I think cheeky is on its way out now, but might still have a bit of currency.

Anything that is cheeky is good, apparently.

"We're looking for something a little bit cheeky."
"I like the way that animation moves, it's very cheeky."

Rebore
On a recent trip to Australia (Which my mother bought for me as a special Christmas treat) I came to know the phrase "She's due for a rebore" This would be done by inserting a leg of lamb up in through the said womans "Bomb Doors" Once inserted the bone would be pulled out of the leg of lamb, giving the woman a "Rebore" ...........Slag!

Hmm, a few regional ones here
back home we use these words:

'shitehawk' - a hawk who lives in shite. a favourite of mine

'divvy' - jesus i dont know what it means, but i use it a lot

the word 'bifter' is an excellent choice for those portly or oversized.

'bullroot' was another popular one back in the early nineties. synonymous with a bovine erection. can be used instead of the word dickhead

ding
interchangeable with shite in the descriptive, if not physical, sense.

"The Stereophonics are ding"
"oh min, that's ding"
"I feel ding"

I've been cultivating this one for years.
