What slang do you use?

Post » Sun May 13, 2012 1:48 pm

I don't even know what is slang and what isn't anymore. I used the word "kids" in an essay in my english class, and got marked off for every single use of it because it's slang.

A better question would be what slang I don't use.

Beat me too it.
Dependent on who I'm with it's common occurance for me to switch to the dictionary of London, perhaps so often so that I forget which words aren't slang and which are. Especially as all my mates tend to do the same thing.

I believe the correct terminology is currently "small advlts". Either that or "bloody nuisances". :P

The one I was born with, and not one that everyone else uses.

I say "eh?" at the end of some sentences. Most of the time when I use slang is when I'm joking around though.

I also tend to use slang from A Clockwork Orange, mostly 'horrorshow'.
I've similarly started to say "glazzies" sometimes instead of eyes. And maybe "rookers" instead of hands once or twice.

This thread has got me all balled up with this baloney you cats are spoutin.

Pipe down and don't take any wooden nickels or I'll be sure to take you all for a ride.

note: I'm not entirely sure if I used all that correctly but 20's slang is the bee's knees
