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.

Huh?
I moved away to university at the begining of the school year, and I still have a lot of slang from my hometown that I still use. Confuses the heck out of people.

Chate: Stupid, beneath my notice.
"Basketweaving 101 is such a chate class."

Geeve (or Gieve.. no idea how to spell this): to listen to reason.
Person 1: I want the pink one
Person 2: But the blue one is better looking, less expensive, and goes "beep" when you poke it.
Person 1: Okay, I geeve (buys the blue one)

Ricer: One of those guys who buys a really cheap import car, then adds neon lights, a rediculous spoiler, and a sound system that can be heard on the opposite side of the Atlantic, all in an attempt to look cool.
"That guy with the big 'Honda' stickers on his Honda is such a Ricer."

Finger flicking: it's not a saying, but a gesture. You relax the muscles in your hand and flick your wrist really quickly next to your head. Your fingers then hit together and make a snapping sound. This is usually acompanied by saying "Oooooohhhh!!!!!!" This means something along the lines of "You're the man."
Person 1: I had sex with many beautiful women last night.
Person 2: Ooooooohhh!!!!! (flicks fingers)
