does the pronounciation of "lush" still go "lerrerrrsshh"?
Velma
Crucial.
As in, 'that tune's crucial, man! Innit? Wicked!'
"Freeride"
"recession"
it's all "depression this" and "depression that" these days. Even the bloomin' PM does it.
Pants. A decade or so ago everything was "that's well pants". Used to annoy the f out of me
Fagus, I think you'll find that those words are still in use in the gay community.
grizzlygus, I bow to your greater experience in such matters.

Unfortunately, yes.
My Aunt is a Lush ... she married a Mr Lush... honest.
So much used by us
Now I think about it I had a Great Aunt who was a lush too ...but thats because she used to drink meths 🙄
"Thanks and Please"
"I think you'll find that those words are still in use in the gay community."
Jings!! They're taking all the best words!
I get into trouble, from Mrs CFC for saying the word "pillock!!!". But I really have to say that it's a "Nice woody word," PILLOCK! ;O)
Chum- I always use it. Partly because its arcane.
Also:
Chuff (as in her chuff)
Lolly (money)
Fox (she is a)
'UK motor industry'
Buff (as in totally buff)

I don't think I've heard "rad" or "wicked" used appreciatively since I was at primary school...
Benny.
As in, 'are you a Benny tied to a tree?'
'no'
'Benny on the loose, Benny on the loose!'
Gopping
Lolly (money)
IMO that's the first word I've seen on this thread which was genuinely very extensively used, but now appears to have disappeared off the face of the earth. I hadn't really thought about it, but I'm not sure whether I've heard it used since my childhood.
Outwith? Had to google that to see what it meant. Appears to be the same as olde-worlde 'without' - as in 'who is without'? So, same as outside really. Tip - just say outside, then you'll be understood.
Fudd is a good one. Haven't used that in a while

Chinney Reck-on
Early 80's IIRC
I used to call a friend 'Chum' but he complained it sounded like I was calling him a tin of dog food. I said "sorry Pal".
Boom Boom 😉
Chinney! LOL!
Fond memories of chanting "chinny chin chin!" whilst rubbing one's own Brucie when you knew someone was fibbing.
Fibbing. Another good one.
I use rad all the time.:-/
the name of guy gibson's (him of dambusters fame) dog for one.
Please.
Thank you.
Not to worry.
It's been a pleasure.
A great teacher.
We used to say 'bez', if we thought someone was telling fibs.
Pagga, as in 'thus, a pagga ensued'.
kets for sweets, do they still say that in the NE?
skitters for having a dump too
Kegs - as in trousers

Woody words... 🙂
Aplomb, except for on football commentaries.
'He surged into the box, with aplomb'.
Yes, you're right!
Please, thank you, hello, and sorry.

I don't use the word Gay. It was once used to describe a nice-happy day.
I had a gay of a time today. Good for you, Etc.
But now it represents homosexuals (Ok fine) and now to describe a negativity description.
I'm gay = I'm happy, I'm a homosexual or I'm a sad individual.
I want my word back I want to describe my happy day.
I want to shout to the world I'm GAY! 😆

Sounds a bit tinnie if you ask me... "gay" don't think it'll catch on.
"aaaaawwwwwwwlraightoh!" (as heard in 'place your hands' by Reef)
also variety of mencap/spastic society-baiting insults.
and that 'neighbours' staple "You flamin' Galaaaah!"
