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.

Rowing banter
My rowing team at College in Oxford has spent so much time together, we have our own slang that makes us completely unintelligable from all sane individuals. For example:

Tonk = Muscly
Hench = Very muscly (can also mean good)
Ripped = Extremely muscly
Hurt locker = General state of exhaustion achieved during exersize
Treenaus = From the finnish "training"
Mena biden trainausta = I like training
Goodlad = Someone who puts in considerable effort, also my personal nickname
Negative ghostrider = No, and I wish to make my answer to your question longer whilst sounding cool
Tosspiece = Wanker
Spazz button = 110% effort; usually results in loss of coordination
Whack off = to down ones drink

If that isnt confusing enough, in the presence of alcohol we must all call each other by our Top Gun names....

"That's damn hench Hollywood, now whack off you tosspiece"
"Negative ghostrider, I shall not be hitting the spazz button"
"You'll never get in the locker like that, remember treenaus"
"Mena biden trainausta"
"Goodlad!"

I think I need to get out less
