    Dude

    My boyfriend and his friends regularly call each other that. And they're not being daft, they're using it as a very serious word. It's irritating.

    NOt as irritating as when my boyf called me a dude though, forgetting who it was. I hit him with a box (his fault for leaving the box on his bed in my eyes)

    cowabunga dude!

    I probably spelled that word to a point where its undetermanabile what the word actually is (as what I did with the undetermanable word) god i'm retarded.

    but good idea, on using cowabunga

    ritcheous

    Righteous? Just a guess. ;)

    I use dude quite a lot and (shamefully) hunk, too. Not the others...though I might try and incorporate cowabunga into sentences more frequently!

    They use it if they're annoyed with each other. Not in a conversational way. That is why it's irritating. It's hard to take an argument seriously where everyones calling each other dude.

    I like the word Jank - it's not used nearly enough.

    Same with...
    Mush - mate
    Kenna - house
    Mort - girl
    Cushti - good

    The insults I get from chavs have slowly evolved over the years, showing the chav interlectual potential to be captured, tamed and trained as beast of burden

    dweeb
    geek (back in fashion, but it went out for a bit)
    diss (to diss, as in to insult)
    chicken-sh*t (maybe its still in use but chavs run cower and run away from me before I hear them say it)
    goffffffffff (with a tonne of drool as they hiss it)
    Nuttah
    Respec'
    Yo
    Busta (though I did see this in a GTA game)

    As someone else said, "blatently" and "random" used to get overused quite a lot.
