Just seen someone use 'chums' rather than mates or whatever in another thread, which got me thinking. Nobody says 'chums' ant more, but it's a great word.... Any more?

'skill' as an appreciative adjective, e.g. "cor mate, you're bike's skill"

Was informed by an English colleague that people in England don't use the word 'outwith'. I was surprised.

People don't say 'groovy' nearly enough anymore either.

"bison"

As in: "that dude is f-ing bison" (i.e. he's really hard)

Too right, I moved to scotland and found the very prevalent use of outwith quite startling. Very definitely a "local" thing!

spiffing

I mourn the decline of the words 'tube' (should be pronounced 'Chube') and 'roaster' (no special pronunciation requirements) both meaning "idiot of the highest order" and generally of Scottish origin.

thomthumb, spiffing is a part of my daily vocabulary.

AndyP - Member

'spiffing' and 'chums' used lots here.
'hep cats' and 'zoot suits' sadly underused these days.
