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.

Good, Bad and UglyGood
Doris McWhirter - girlfriend as in "can't come out tonight I've got Doris McWhirter issues."
Arse - house. as in "Come round and see me new arse" or "He's got a lovely big arse in Kennington" etc
Bad
businessman wankspeak: "profits experienced negative growth" is supposedly a more positive way of saying "profits fell"
Ugly
"as of [insert date]" utterly pointless, why not "on [insert date]" or "from [insert date]"
Also a good swearword in Spanish (although not new) me cago tus muertos - I shit on your dead family. More potent than "you bloody bastard."
