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.

sorry - archaic sport but it does have its gems.
'Having one's arse handed to you on a plate' - being severly beaten
'Beasted' - being severly beaten
'given a shooing' - being severly beaten
(all three of the above can also be used to describe a victory rather than a defeat)
'dirty protest' - venting ones displeasure at a stewards enquiry in the regatta toilets
'bum shoving' - engaging your legs in the drive phase of the stroke before connection.
'catching a crab' - failing to extracate your blade at the end of the stroke resulting in at best a
'boat stopper' or at worst, ejection from the boat.
'Hammersmith Mafia' - the amateur rowing association
'jurgen burger' - plate of food given to you by the gb squad coach
'killing a goose' - being given a win on a plate, on finals day at henley
'boff' - sex with a young lady eg - we boffed behind the scoreboard at the nat champs.
'blue tac' - the women that follow the oxford/cambridge boat race crews around at parties

Ben Hurr
One of mine, being English and talking about the weather a lot I made this one up a few years back, meaning Overcast.
"What's the weather like up your end?"
"It's a bit Ben Hurr"
"WTF?!?"
"Overcast mate, cloudy."

not exactly slang
but a slang misunderstanding.
Girl: "You're a vegetarian?"
Me: "Yeah."
Girl: "I hate fucking vegetarians"
Me: "Don't fuck them, then."
awkward silence...
And another one. I was annoying this (stereotypically black) guy in Tech once and he said "What, man, I'll blow you." Everyone laughed. He then said "I'll blow you 'ard like. You won't know what fackin hit you. You wanna get blown, boy."
...I think he wanted to hit me. Never can tell, though, eh?

Lick
A (female) friend of mine recently started using the phrase "She's worth a lick" if she thought a woman was particularly attractive.
She's not a lesbian or anything, she just says things like that.
I think it's quite funny actually....

Courtesy of my townie brother...
"Munter", meaning an unattractive person (usually female). I first heard it when he was describing a trip to Amsterdam's red light district:
"These was all these birds, man. The really expensive ones were alright, but most of them were these fat ugly munters!"
My personal favourite from my school days was the all-encompassing "gaylord" ("Why, that's right, I am indeed the Lord of the homosexual community. Doesn't that mean you should be bowing to me?") and "pilchard" (which basically means "plonker").
Oh, and my friends and I have always referred to the lairy townies you find loitering about as "Kevs" (as in "Kevin the Teenager" from Harry Enfield).

Ahhhh Shit the bed!
To be used when the worst possible situation arises.
I used it on holiday, and when my mates first heard it they had no idea what I meant. By the end of the trip we were all using it regularly and still do.

Spaccy
getting an unfortunate amount of usage to mean anything that's broken or not working correctly. I can't help saying it, it just worked its way into my vocab.
other verisons of this are : spachanded - when I mess up something I'm 'being a bit spachanded'
A phrase of my own: 'On The Wonk'
I'm an e-learning developer, so when something isn't lined up on screen, it's on the wonk.

Boyed
My missus works as a teacher in a South London boys' comp, so this has genuine classroom etymology. I gather it means "made to feel like a little boy", as in "aaah, Miss boyed you!" consequent to an Exercise Of Discipline.

Some old, one brand new.
"Timmies" are how my friends who work at the local welfare office refer to those who recieve a disability pension. From the Southpark character of course.
Asking a mate "Go down for a dollar?" isn't a request for oral pleasure. It's shorthand for "I'm bored of this pub/club. Wanna go somewhere more interesting?" Used mainly towards the females in the group.
"Michelle" is a g-string. Used in public places to point out girls wearing anal floss without seeming to be a perve. "Is that Michelle?" "Yes, I think that's Michelle." "No, that's not Michelle."
Umm, "Anal Floss" hasn't been listed yet either. It's a g-string.
And one I've been meaning to coin for a while now. "Woo-plaint" As in "I'd like to make a woo-plaint." It's a complaint about something that's too good to ignore, but ends up sucking away great portions of your otherwise productive life, like spending hours reading these b3ta threads every week.

Not sure i its here or not
But "fugly" is the word- a lovely cross between fucking and ugly.
also "fair-dinkum" and "jerk-off", if the second one is allowed.
Thankyou.

Ned Kelly
Officially the worst film ever made, and so anything that's rubbish, is completely Ned Kelly eg. 'that is fucking Ned'
Things that are incredibly good, are 'shooting monkeys'.
