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.

A while back I invented loads of wordsNone of them have managed to get into mainstream circulation, as far as I know, but one that I do use myself is "cumberbarrier". That is one of those metal fences along the sides of roads in really annoying places, that you have to go a really long way around to get to somewhere on the other side of the road.
Also a "queuecumber" is one of the "car seat belts on poles" fences that you get in banks, at the tills in department stores etc..
