[Closed] Youngsters and their expressions/expletives of appreciation

Hench - strong and muscly. "Build like a henchman"

We used skill when I was 14 and that was more than 30 years ago 🙂

Trill

This thread is doss!

As in the bird seed?

Rad to the power of sick?

It's [i]sik[/i] Binners.

You iz so not down wiv da kidz like wot I iz. I iz so street man.

Radical

Do kiwis still say choice? I always quite liked that

'touch' appears around here a lot, i.e "that was a right touch'

Do you work in a Catholic school? 🙂

*wanders off a little confused and befuddled*

'Sweet' and 'Ace' were around when I was a kid, think 'Sweet' may have made a comeback, but 'Ace' is still reserved for elite pilots I think.

do you only talk to children attending Eton - my 15 year old would never say that 😉

Hench.

Upon hearing the term "Skill" I feel compelled to reply with the phrase "African bum disease" although I can't seem to remember why...

Currently hearing 'ments!' a lot from my 15 year old, which I mistook for 'immense' at first, but actually it's short for 'mental!'
This can be upgraded to 'totes ments!' using the same methodology as and when required. Which seems to be very often.

lol at verses

memory going but just enough left to lead to confusion 🙂

I remember the response - no idea why it was appropriate, either.

"touch" has been around years, no?

We had some strange ones growing up in Ireland. If something was "rapid", that was very good indeed.

A good looking girl or bloke was a "fine ting".

This can be upgraded to 'totes ments!' using the same methodology as and when required. Which seems to be very often.

I can cope with just about any of the tripe that leaves my children's mouths, but the moment anybody in this house utters 'totes' I'll strangle them.

[/STW Grrrrr]

Ace was the word when I was at school, rapidly followed by the compulsory 'A Crummy Effort?' retort. We were [i]so[/i] sharp dontchaknow.....

I like their slipper socks.

lots of discussion of 'skill' found on Google, this one's quite good;

[i]Question: Have you got skill?

Answer: Yes

Response: errrrrrrrrrrr skill is an ‘African Bum Disease!’

In the late Eighties, on the school playgrounds of my youth, this was a common enough encounter. As well as making filling out the 'skills' section of job applications a humiliating experience this phrase laid the groundwork for my generation’s attitude towards achievement, an attitude that would see us binge-drink our way through as much of our potential as possible in the late nineties.

Ok, just a glare if it's a footwear reference. But otherwise the threat stands.

around here, 'dank' has become an expression of approval. Weird.

Hmmm, a little field testing underway, I recommended a consultant into an organisation to help with their forward planning and received this text today:

"Morning. ***** board meeting yesterday went really well. Exhausted today. Interesting bunch of characters. Thanks for the introduction."

I replied;

"I hear it was rad to the power of sik!"

So far, radio silence. 😀

I used a phrase about a ring, a fence and a mythical one horned horse in a meeting the other day! 🙂

jumping the shark with the buzz-word bingo there.

hench, potent and pungent last time I walked amongst the youf dem

It's all codes with 11 yr olds anyway. For example,

"Would you and your friends like a drink'.

is evidently some sort of horrendous faux pas that causes near fatal embarassment. 😕

decent...

hot beans seems to be popular to...

blame radio 1

****ing muppet on there by the name of mills doesnt seem to be able to utter a single complete sentence in english.

love to cut words short as per above.

i know some adults guilty of this and times and i just correct them till - really winds me up. "such and such off of aberdeen" or "totes amaizing" or even worse - talking in text .... its one thing to type text ,which i dont get in todays world of keyboard phones and unlimited messages ..... when i grew up we did text speak to get all we needed to convey into 1 10pence text message and because nokia text input was a nightmare

and calm down. ......

"the damage".

e.g. "That bottle of buckfast billy was the damage".

Are you cool?

Ha, You're a constipated overweight old lady!

So my boy told me yesterday..

Lush!
Lau that - Dont allow that
Sik brea
Bang tidy

Apparently my new Nike flatty shoes are "bare peng".

My other teen thinks they are sik, and I was a bit suprised to find they both liked them.

Cool story bro, needs more dragons and sh*t. (apparently)

At least you get some semblance of language from your children. My partners 17 year old lad just grunts and mumbles!!!!!!!!

Ha - my 12yr old daughter uses all these expressions. I love to wind her up with fake "un-coolness" especially in the car in the mornings when she is listening to the radio with her friend and a "record" (as I make a point of calling it) they like comes on. Some of my favourite deliberate mistakes are artists names,

Tony Temper
Timmy Strider
Colin Maynard
Dizzy Russell
Barry Stiles

Always makes me "LOL out loud" (they love that one!). 😀

Ah ha we have a response - "What the hell are you on?"

Result!
