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.

yeb off!a friend of mine was at art college in Hull in the eighties, doing some sort of post grad thing. There was only a handfull of other students on the course and none were local. On his walk to college was a line of boarded up houses with YEB OFF scrawled on them. It crept into his vocabulary, and subsiquently into the the other students, all thinking it was local lingo.
Later, walking past the same row he saw a guy come out of one of the houses, nailed the door shut, wrote YEB OFF on it and got into a Yorkshire Electricity Board van
