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.

I have a few...
The word 'gay' to say something is bad, has made a comeback (ever since Mario Kart). Same with Twat/Slag.
I've heard alot of "1337" speek spoken in real life, ie, 'Lawl' for laugh out loud.
Normaly the morning after if I have mates staying around, we comunicated in 'mers', and it supprisingly it works very well. For example, "Merr, meh, meeaah, mermer" with pointing at something like a bottle of water.
Another one is the word 'well' asin, "Thats well good", along with 'rare'.. "how rare".
I've been using the word 'blimmy' alot.
Since hanging around with some South Africans, i've started using the word
"Oak" to mean Bloke,
"bejeeze" for something like 'gosh',
'Kaffa' for good,
