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.

A couple of north-east ones from a misspent youth...
Stows and/or Stoys: Lots. Stoys of booze was an acceptable quantity for a medium piss-up. Stows was quite frankly terrifying amounts.
Dead slippy was very good. This was well before *that* underworld song.
Schlameel: No idea what it meant, but it got said every so often.
A bit of Nadsat has invaded as well, particularly tolchock and yarbles... for the meaning please refer to A Chocolate Orange.
