What would your teenager refer to [s]play[/s]* as?
I know a forum of grown adults who play on bikes can answer this one. 😕

*(We don't play, we just hang about and mess about, play guitars, ride bikes, draw pictures (aka graffiti), kick cans, be silly etc etc)
Hanging out covers it.
Hanging out can involve :-
Play ,romance,learning to be social,being bored,being anywhere but home,being away from parental stares and the fear of missing something if you are not there. 🙂

Don't have a teenager of my very own yet, but when i was that age, we called it "knocking about" or "lekking" (Laking).
Playing with others. Knocking about
Playing alone. Knocking one out
jamming
When I sometimes bother to ask my 18 tear old what he has been up to he usually grunts and says 'Jammin'....This gives me Bob Marley as my earworm for the rest of the day !
Dossing it were called when I were a lad.
Might just be a local thing though?
Up to no good, should be inside studying!!! 😈
My 2 refer to the thing by its name, or chilling if doing what I used to call dossing about, same as breadcrumb
I believe in modern yoof parlance they still say "play" but for some odd reason they always prefix with "for" which makes no linguistic sense to me. 😕
Chilling, hanging out, going out
*Makes a monosyllabic grunt which might be Huh*

This. Anything and everything falls under this definition:
Me: What have you been doing up at [friend's house]?
Son: Stuff
Me: What did you do at school today?
Son: Stuff
ME: What are you going to do when you leave school?
...
stuff
wow that must be one of those outstanding academy type places cos my two only ever do 'nothing' at school/college... unless they need money for something
say "play" but for some odd reason they always prefix with "for" which makes no linguistic sense to me.
I can still just about remember for(e)play 🙁
It's SOOOO UNFAIR...........
