refresh my memory.
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:
..yea! i remember now!
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 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.
Skeen - Means 'seen' or i hear ya
Rinse - same as cushd really
Its long - means its a drag.
Believe - said after a sentence...a bit like saying trust me
buff - means like good looking / nice physic
When i remmebr some more ill holla at ya (holla means call)
Fit like? - How are you?/Are you well?
Ah da kin - I don't know
Lugs - ears
Skelp - smack/hit
Stab hole - Cash machine
Swatch - look (as in "gies a swatch" - "let me look")
Choocter - scottish highland country person
Cowp - rubbish dump/tip
Weegie - person from Glasgow
Bairn - Young child
Wagon - van
Thats all the ones that can be said without offending anyone
What da hell...cockney is what londons known for....to be honest tis better then most da stopid english accents.
slabber - talk shit to someone
Modern slang .... changing the meaning of a word........big deal!
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
(Ok so it doesnt really but it should :cool: )
So what, like you'd say, hey hows the trouble and strife doing? How would anybody what that means? I'm so not hip and down with the slang these days (ever)
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.
Or so my English teacher told us.
Very true.
So like, What would you like to eat for plate spinner?
Any old scran.
