    They tend to get used on here to describe bikes/riding so I wondered if they were some odd bike terminology. I guess not.

    Schlepp is Yiddish for a journey that’s a bit of a hassle, I believe.

    Braapp is the sound of a powerful meaty machine that eats up everything in front of it, also the sound lots of do to mimic a MX..

    Schlepp is the sound lots of STW’s make as they clean their keyboard after an evenings furious self beating..

    braap is what you say about sumit good, innit blud.

    Often used in conjunction with a hand in the shape of a pistol, by wannabe gangsters and chavvy kids. Also has roots in motocross like sharki said.

    I’ve never heard schlep before though. This is probably a good thing 😉

    What a load of cobblers!

    Braapp – used as ‘cover-up-speech’ when talking about a girl as you ride past – ‘Blimey Stu! Did you see them Braapps?’

    Schlepp – used in a similar contxt – ‘Saw them Braaps?! Schlepped with them mate!#

    “braap” is actually intended as an imitation of the noise an uzi, or similar handheld automatic weapon makes during a drive by.

    Quite sad really.

    I’ve always thought Schlepp is Yiddish, as Chakaping has pointed out. My Jewish friends use the expression, as do I , and quite a few people I know in London. I have no idea if it has some contemporary Yute symbolism.

    As for ‘Brap’, that’s the sound my bottom makes after I’ve had a curry and beer…

    Yup, thats what I thought it was too. Its when those cool cats the crazy urban gansta wannabees try to act all hard innit, and they point their fingers in the shape of a gun, twist the gun horizontal gansta stylee and go

    “brrrappp … wikid like innit “

    and such twaddle and tosh.

    Pook – I’m sorry, you’re delusional (and can’t spell).

    There appears to be a world away from a brapp and a braap.

    Personally I can’t believe we’re discussing this, I’ve got some half waffles to finish.

    Have a gay day (You’ll say that means something else where you come from I expect).

    Schlepp – what Chapaking said. In German it means drag. Like when you’re skiing – a drag lift is a Schlepplift.
