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.

...
Currently using:

'Oh Hi!!!' - said in a camp fashion to denote something or someone who is camp. Usually accompanied by a limp wrist action.

Muddy Funster - Mother Fu...
Melon Farmer - see above

A phone related one I got from my younger brother.

To Prank: Verb; the action of ringing a persons phone a couple of times then hanging up. Used to indicate that you are outside or waiting in a predefined place. Use; I'll pick you up in 10 minutes, I'll prank you when I'm outside.

Various lines from Withnail are also dropped into conversation. Not new but...

'Balls!' - used as required

Shouts of 'SCRUBBERS!' from a moving car at overdressed ladies walking to the pub / club.

Another one...
To Malfunction (v) - to point out in a perfectly reasonable fashion the unreasonableness of someone else's actions..

Or, more likely given the usual context, to describe (a woman's) nagging. As in, "I went round to hers but she started malfunctioning so I fucked off down the pub".

beadle...
Courtesy of my flatmate DOM, referring to disability aids with the beadle prefix, eg rails in toilets are beadle-rails, and the handle on a taxi driver's steering wheel is a 'beadle-wheel'
Also used instead of butter-fingers - 'you dropped your pint, fucking beadlehands!'

Not the most exciting thing but...
Thanks to Nottingham accented scallies, and Pitman, it has become the normal thing for a lot of people in Notts to have this conversation rather than say hello:

a) Easy. Y'get meh?
b) You don't even know meh!
a) You don't know meh, but you so want to be meh!
b) y'get meh? Proper.

This can go round for hours until someone gets bored. Needless to say, everyone I've heard use this (me included) is from outside Nottingham, and wouldn't go into St Annes for love nor money...

...erly
Appended to directions. The adjectival form of "west" is "westerly", so you might extend this to any other directional instruction and say something like:

"You need to go in a lefterly direction".

Used solely by me and my mates, I believe. Sad.

Big Mullet & Womb - descriptive of a certain type of ugly, upper/middle class lady that wear trousers up to and over their wombs.

Slang
An old favourite which I've been hearing increasingly frequently (partly because I am determined to bring it back) is 'Upton Park' for someone behaving in a peculiar fashion.

As in, "he's Upton Park".

Because it's 2 stops short of Barking (geddit?).

Bit London-centric I realise. For anyone else, Upton Park is a tube station 2 along the district line west of Barking.

Chav, or Chavscum...
... seems to be a popular and humourous substitution for the term 'Pikey', mentioned elsewhere on the thread.
Thanks due to the excellent chavscum.co.uk website for spreading this, presumably Medway-local, colloquialism to the rest of the civilised world, and thus giving us a whole new deogatory handle for Burberry-capped, Nike sweatpant- wearing, Big Mac munching cattle.
Well done, well done!

Trampsan
Pronouced as if addressing a Japanese person called Mr. Tramp, ie Tramp-san.

Term to describe those of Romany stock, as in the song "Gypsies, Tramps and thieves, the people of the town they called them...."

To my knowledge used only my my good wife and myself.

Foo, meaning gross, again. As in: "THis bathroom smells; foo!"

Pebcak
Working in IT, you generally have to talk to some complete sponge of a customer from time to time, who's complaint about your product is entirely their own fault (e.g. Power not on, trying to run your database on a rubberkeyed spectrum, etc).

Thus the phrase 'Pebcak error'

Biffage
Not sure if it's already come up.

My brother introduced me to this one, it's descriptive of a group of people (usu. female) whom you consider attractive ('There was lots of biffage on the bus today', 'Show me the biffage'), also an exclamation ('Biffage!').
