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.

Courtesy of my townie brother..."Munter", meaning an unattractive person (usually female). I first heard it when he was describing a trip to Amsterdam's red light district:
"These was all these birds, man. The really expensive ones were alright, but most of them were these fat ugly munters!"
My personal favourite from my school days was the all-encompassing "gaylord" ("Why, that's right, I am indeed the Lord of the homosexual community. Doesn't that mean you should be bowing to me?") and "pilchard" (which basically means "plonker").
Oh, and my friends and I have always referred to the lairy townies you find loitering about as "Kevs" (as in "Kevin the Teenager" from Harry Enfield).
