    Big Billboards with a picture of Leah Betts on life support with the word 'Sorted' underneath.

    I remember my mate having a T-Shirt which said 'Leah Betts dies after just one E' and on the back it said 'Lightweight' :eek2:

    I use "awesome", "wicked", "genius" and "dude" as general approval, "ming" for general disapproval... I think that's about it.

    I am so 90s, gotta sort myself out.

    I sometimes use "shit" instead of "stuff/thing/situation" in a "this shit is bananas" sort of way.

    Oh, and I use ginger for gay/queer, too.

    I say boss now and again, which is like saying thats really good.

    I know quite a few people who describe everything that tastes/looks/feels good as fit. E.g: Oh my god, this chocolate is fit!!

    And I also say sound.

    Theres quite a lot of slang words up here near Liverpool.

    How are you supposed to know what it means? Lots of words rhyme and from the ones listed they had no relation to what they were supposed to mean.

    I know what you mean some of them do relate though. My personal favourite:

    Trouble and strife- wife
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Kotching - means hanging about, chatting, or any number of things depending on the context.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru

    Up the apples - up the apples and pears - Stairs
    He's me china - china plate - mate

    etc etc ...Rhyming slang is still very common today i.e Barnet - Barnet Fayre - Hair

    Cushti, along with mush is a Romany word that's used quite a bit all over.
