Slang SurveyWhat 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.

Well, me and my little brother use a lot of l33t.....as a kind of a joke, because our thirteen year old middle brother is dangerously hooked on CS, thus using lots of time, which could be used to woo-yay in b3ta. I am from Finland, so l33t therefore gets quite a interesting and an awkward accent. I personally use the word "gay", or the Finnish alternative: "homo/homoa", when something sucks, and the expressions: "ultrak00l/cyberiä", when something is in order.
A typical swear-one-liner would be "Voihan vadelma", which translates simply as: "Oh raspberry". The word "Juippi" (slacker/wanker) is also frequently used.
Also, when a rampage shall occur I shout out: "Jumalauta, mitä riehujia!" (could be translated as: "Goddman, what barmies!")
Now you can spend your afternoon trying to pronounce these. Sorry for the long post, but always when I was going to send this, I suddenly remembered a another popular saying and had to include it too...
